Abstract

This article examines the development of communication skills in early childhood children following cochlear implantation (CI). It investigates the trajectory of language acquisition, speech production, and auditory comprehension in young children who received CIs before the age of five, focusing on factors that influence their communicative outcomes. The study explores the impact of age at implantation, pre-implantation communication skills, family involvement, and rehabilitation strategies on language development. It also considers the challenges and potential delays faced by early CI users compared to their typically developing peers. By synthesizing existing research and presenting empirical findings, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of communication development after CI in early childhood and to inform best practices for intervention and support.
