Abstract
Eighty-eight children who underwent cochlear implantation at the University of Melbourne Cochlear Implant Clinic are reviewed. The aetiology of the hearing loss is classified and is compared to their best level of speech perception performance. The group whose hearing loss was not congenital in origin performed better than those who were congenital in origin. Of those whose hearing loss was congenital in nature those with rubella appeared to perform best.
