El lenguaje en niños con pérdida auditiva prelocutiva que utilizan implante coclear y en niños oyentes

Abstract

The study aims to determine if there are differences between the language of a group of children with hearing loss who use cochlear implants at an early age and hearing children, the same age range and similar cultural characteristics. For data collection we used Battery Objective and Criterial (BLOC) screening test and Phonological Phonetic Comprehensive Exploration and expressive language (ELCE). We evaluated a group of 10 children with prelingual hearing loss and 30 hearing children between 7 and 10 years of age. Sampling was intentional. The results showed that significant differences do exist between the two groups, with significantly higher language development of hearing children.
