dc.description.abstract | This paper summarises findings from a population study on outcomes of children with
hearing loss in Australia, the Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing
Impairment (LOCHI, www.outcomes.nal.gov.au) study. Children were evaluated at
several intervals using standardised tests, and the relationship between a range of
predictors and the outcomes was examined. This paper reports the performance of
children with cochlear implants at 5 years of age together with factors predicting word
reading ability. Earlier age at cochlear implantation was significantly associated with
better word reading ability, after controlling for the effects of language, receptive
vocabulary, nonverbal cognitive ability and device configuration. | en_US |
