title: Speech perception results--the first 10 years of a cochlear implant program.
abstract: Long-term speech perception test results for prelingually deaf children were compared with those of postlingually deafened adults, both groups having undergone cochlear implant at our Center. Average open-set score results of adults were similar to those of the children. However, some qualitative differences were demonstrated on the perception of phonological contrasts between the groups.
