In this study we aimed to investigate the relation of the use of hearing aids and cochlear implant to speech intelligibility of children with hearing impairment.Methods
This study is carried out on 30 children 3 to 10 years old with hearing impairment. Speech sample of children is collected in 2 level of word and sentence. The relationship between speech intelligibility scores and duration of use of hearing aids and cochlear implant was evaluated by using of Statistical analysis.Results
The study indicated that there is more correlation between increasing the duration of implant usage, and increasing speech intelligibility in comparison with increasing duration of hearing aids usage, and increasing speech intelligibility.Conclusion
