  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study investigates how children with hearing loss develop spoken language skills and executive functions, such as attention, memory, and focus. Executive functions are mental skills that help with managing time, paying attention, and remembering details. The study aims to understand the differences in speech-language outcomes following cochlear implantation.

In this study, participants will work with a Speech-Language Pathologist at Riley Hospital. They will engage in language tests that involve naming pictures, pointing to objects, and repeating words or sentences. Additionally, there will be game-like tasks to assess mental abilities like memory and attention, where children will point to objects, remember words or pictures, and order items. Parents will also complete some questionnaires.

  • Who can participate: Children aged 2 to 12 years with cochlear implants and children without hearing loss are eligible to participate. For more details on eligibility, contact the study team.
  • Study details: Participants will complete language and cognitive tests during visits to Riley Hospital. A Speech-Language Pathologist will guide them through various tasks. Parents will fill out questionnaires. Participants will receive $30 per hour for their time, including travel.
