The Literature Review of Speech Intelligibility in Congenitally Deafened Children with Cochlear Implantation

선천성 청각장애 아동의 와우이식 후 말 명료도에 관한 문헌 고찰

The speech intelligibility of congenitally deafened children shows the change after cochlear implantation. The predicting factors of change in speech intelligibility are the age of implantation, the duration of implant use, and communication mode etc.. Among these factors, the age of implantation seems to be one of the most important predictors. But those factors including age of implantation can explain only some parts of the variance. Therefore, the further study to find the factors which affect the speech intelligibility should be done.
