Abstract

A 6-years 9-month-old child with congenital severely hearing impaired received a Nucleus 22 channel implant. Twenty-two CG electrodes are now in use. In the 5 months since the cochlear implant, the patient has made good progress. Her vowel discrimination score has reached 100%. However, her consonant discrimination has remained at the chance level. On the other hand, auditory reception of environmental sounds has shown relative improvement. Problems encountered in pediatric use of the cochlear implant are also discussed herein. © 1994, The Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Society of Japan, Inc. All rights reserved.
