Overview

Retrospective comparative study shows similar cortical maturation in children using CIs or HAs.

Key Points

  • The study aims to compare cortical auditory maturation in children with severe-to-profound hearing loss using cochlear implants versus hearing aids.
  • Included 85 children with congenital severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss.
  • Divided participants into unilateral cochlear implant users (n=42) and bilateral hearing aid users (n=43).
  • Measured P1 latency of cortical auditory evoked potentials using specific speech stimuli.
  • No significant difference in P1 latencies between CI and HA groups for any stimulus (p ≥ 0.48).
  • The HA group had a significantly longer duration of device use (48.02 months) compared to the CI group (26.00 months) (p < 0.001).
  • No significant correlation between duration of device use and P1 latency for any stimulus (p ≥ 0.09).
