Nonword Repetition Assessing Auditory and Cognitive Abilities in Adult Cochlear Implant Users
Our findings demonstrate that adult CI users experience challenges in phonological processing, with advancing age contributing to this decline. Performance on the NWRT reflects the combined influence of auditory (spectrotemporal resolution), cognitive (nonverbal reasoning), and linguistic (reading efficiency and vocabulary knowledge) factors and with spectrotemporal resolution emerging as the primary contributor.
