Abstract:
Background
As much of the studies on cochlear implantation (CI) have concentrated on aspects of speech perception and production, we studied the quality of life in pre-lingual deaf children in Shiraz, southern Iran.Methods
Twenty four parents were selected from those pre-lingual deaf children that their children were implanted by Fars CI Center. The quality of life questionnaire was used and after 3 months was evaluated again.Results
Significant changes were noticed in parent's satisfaction. The parents believed that the children communicated better, but they still needed special care to do school works, etc. Also they had still difficulty in articulation.Conclusion
CI was significantly associated with improvement of quality of life, especially in communication, happiness and relations with their friends and family members.Language:
