The minimum age for cochlear implant candidacy was lowered to 12-months in the year 2000. Previous studies of school and work outcomes for young adult cochlear implant recipients, implanted during childhood, assessed a cohort that began their implant use at a later age. This study aims to assess school and work outcomes for young adult implant recipients whose hearing loss was identified through Universal Newborn Hearing Screening and were implanted in early childhood.
Thank you for your interest, but this study is recruiting by invitation only.
