Development of a Deaf Child With a Cochlear Implant.

Completed

• Conditions: Deafness

• Registration Number: NCT02539901
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse

Brief Summary

Cochlear implantation enables profoundly deaf children to acquire speech and develop their understanding of spoken language. However, there are significant interindividual differences in the results obtained with the implant. Given the lack of theoretical knowledge on acoustic predictors, cognitive and language to obtain optimum speech recognition with cochlear implants associated with a good communicative and language development of deaf children, the investigators intend to achieve a preliminary longitudinal study aimed to describe the cognitive, communicative and perceptive implanted deaf children.

The main objective of our study is to describe the cognitive and communicative development of deaf children implanted from the pre-implant assessment to 18 months post-implantation, by addressing the following aspects:

* The psychomotor and cognitive development assessed using the Brunet-Lézine test;

* The development of preverbal communication, evaluated using the Early Social Communication Scale.
