Summary, etc Objective: The present study examined differences in health-related<br/>quality of life (HRQoL) between deaf children with cochlear implants (CI)<br/>with and without developmental disabilities (DD) and differences across<br/>HRQoL domains within both groups of children.<br/>Methods: Ninety-two parents of children with CI aged 3–7 years participated<br/>in this cross-sectional study. Of these children, 43 had DD (i.e.,<br/>CI-DD group) and 49 had no DD or chronic illness, demonstrating overall<br/>typical development (i.e., CI-TD group). Parents of children in both<br/>groups completed the KINDLR, a generic HRQoL questionnaire. Parents<br/>also provided anecdotal comments to open-ended questions, and parent<br/>comments were evaluated on a CI benefits scale to assess parentperceived<br/>benefits of CI for the deaf children with and without disabilities.<br/>Results: Children in the CI-DD group had significantly lower HRQoL<br/>compared to children in the CI-TD group, including lower scores on the<br/>self-esteem, friend, school, and family HRQoL subscales. No significant<br/>differences among groups were found on the physical well-being and<br/>emotional well-being subscales. For the CI-TD group, age at implantation<br/>correlated negatively with self-esteem and school HRQoL subscales.<br/>In the CI-DD group, children’s current age correlated negatively with<br/>family and with the total HRQoL scores. Parent anecdotal comments and<br/>scores on the CI-benefits scale indicated strong parent perceptions of<br/>benefits of implantation for children in both groups.<br/>Conclusion: Based on parents’ proxy report, findings suggest that having<br/>DD affects multiple domains of HRQoL among young children with<br/>CIs above and beyond that of the CI itself. Parents of deaf children with<br/>DD may need greater support through the CI process and follow-up than<br/>parents of deaf children without DD.
