In:
Journal of the American Academy of Audiology (2017) p. 1-12Summary: Background: Cochlear implants (CIs) give children with severe to profound hearing loss access to
sound. There appears to be a dose effect of sound exposure on speech perception abilities as shown
by the positive influence of early implantation and CI experience. The consistency in device use per day
could also affect sound dose, potentially affecting perceptual abilities in children with CIs.
