Abstract

A cochlear implant is an electronic sensory system that converts mechanical energy into coded electrical signals that directly activate the auditory nerve fibers. Present review article investigates the findings of previous research papers which have assessed speech and language outcome in children who underwent early cochlear implantation. Several databases, including PubMed, Google, Google Scholar, and Medline, were investigated for research papers on the speech and language outcomes of children who had early-life implants. According to previous research, early detection and intervention of hearing loss are critical for the growth of speech and language skills. The effect of early detection of hearing loss and early cochlear implantation on a child's overall speech-language and auditory growth is highlighted in this article.
