3M/house cochlear implant in children.
Data on 265 children with the 3M/House single-channel cochlear implant have been collected and analyzed for presentation to FDA. Significant improvements from preimplant to postimplant in auditory detection, auditory discrimination/identification, and speech production have been demonstrated. Some children also demonstrate the ability to recognize words and sentences without the aid of speechreading.
