| Abstract | Abstract Objective To study the effect of age at implantation and duration of implant use on the performance of spoken word recognition of paediatric cochlear implantees in a tonal language setting over a period of 5 years. Study design Sixty-four children, implanted at age from 1:01 to 14:09, were divided into three age groups. They were tested on the open-set word recognition ability at seven time intervals from pre-operation to 5 years post-surgery. Results The factor of implant experience was significant in children's spoken word recognition across the three age groups (P Conclusion Continuous improvement in spoken word recognition performance was noted in all children irrespective of their age at implantation. Children implanted below the age of three improved at a slower rate before 1 full year of implant use. By 2 years of implant use, the performance of the young children had bypassed the older children and sustained the highest scores throughout to 5 years post-operation. |
