- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The main outcome of this study will be the difference in performance on the<br /><br>perception of reflexives and pronouns between children with one or two CIs, and<br /><br>matched hearing-impaired and normal-hearing children. This performance is<br /><br>expressed in percentage correct. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Furthermore, the effects of age and age at implantation will be examined as<br /><br>probable influencing factors on the performance of the test. The potential<br /><br>benefits of two CIs compared to one CI, and of having a CI over a hearing aid<br /><br>will be investigated as well. As it becomes a longitudinal study, the<br /><br>development of the children will be followed for a period of 5 years.</p><br>
