Glaubitz C, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective analysis to assess children’s early receptive and expressive language performance considering bilingual language development as well as quantity and quality of daily cochlear implant (CI) use and intraoperative objective measurements. Data were included from 35 very early bilaterally cochlear-implanted children (age at CI M=8.4 ± 1.5 months). Findings suggested that very early bilateral cochlear implantation can result in age-appropriate language skills already at the age of 2 years. Monolingualism, rather than bilingualism, appears to a better condition for early language development with CI. The daily duration of CI use and exposure time in a speech-characterised environment seem to be additional positive factors, particularly for word production. Monitoring the data-logs should be one of the professionals' main priorities during the postoperative rehabilitation process in order to detect potential benefits and risks. Such discoveries should be incorporated into rehabilitative therapy and parent counselling.
