Longitudinal Developmental Outcomes of Children With Prelingual Single-Sided Deafness With and Without a Cochlear Implant and Recommendations for Follow-Up
The present study shows that early cochlear implantation can improve spatial hearing outcomes and facilitate typical neurocognitive development in children with prelingual SSD. Taken together with previously published data related to children's language development, the present results confirm that children with prelingual SSD can benefit from a CI provided at an early age to support their development across multiple domains. Several guidelines are suggested regarding the clinical follow-up and rehabilitation of these children.
