[Phoniatric aspects in the rehabilitation of patients with cochlear implants].
The method employed in conventional rehabilitation programmes after cochlear implantation is described in detail. A cochlear implant is expected to provide a better acoustic speech discrimination by recognition of prosodic speech elements, such as rhythm, stress, intonation and rudimentary discrimination of phonemes. Furthermore we need to know about the influence of the new auditory control on speech and voice of the deaf. These changes are regularly documented by logopaedic examinations and phonetically adjusted tests. The indication of cochlear implantation in prelingually deaf and in children is discussed.
