Abstract:
The authors studied the indicators of speech intelligibility – a critical indicator of the effectiveness of cochlear implantation (CI) in patients with deafness. The purpose of the study was to compare results of speech audiometry in deaf patients with single-side and bilateral cochlear implantation (CI). The study was conducted in children aged 6 to 17 years with matured speech skills. The results showed that speech intelligibility in group with bilateral CI higher than in single-side CI group. Bilateral cochlear implantation has more potential for efficient speech rehabilitation than single-side CI.
