Presentation Transcript

  1. Prior to and after cochlear implantation, the speech therapist should assess and develop the deaf child's communication abilities. The goals are to first acquire a viable communication system for the deaf child (to avoid a lack of cognitive stimulation) and then to acquire good oral language competencies. The various means of communication available in profoundly deaf education are discussed. It is not recommended that implanted youngsters use only sign language. It has been well established that sole oral communication is connected with a lack of knowledge of the spoken language. The best option appears to be to use a spoken language while manually coding its phonological structures. This alternative's limitations are highlighted.

  2. What exactly is a cochlear implant? Cochlear implants are small, complicated electrical devices that can provide a sensation of sound to people who are deaf or hard of hearing. It is not a hearing aid that enhances detected sounds. In surgery, implants are partially put under the skin, with a portion of it sitting behind the ear. A microphone, speech processor, transmitter, and electrodes send impulses to the auditory nerve are all present. However, and this is critical, cochlear implants do not restore "normal" hearing. Rather, they provide a representation of sounds that can be used to aid in the processing of speech.
