The secondary objective was to investigate the role of variables such as age at CI activation, gender, and parental schooling in early global development in children with a CI. Methods: The study sample included 24 subjects. All children were affected by severe-to-profound congenital bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (HL). The HL was diagnosed between 1 and 23 months of age (median 3 months) and participants underwent cochlear implant activation at 9\u201325 months (median 14 months). Participants were evaluated before CI surgery and after one year of CI use using the Italian version of the Griffiths III scales.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background\/Objectives: The primary objective of the present study was to investigate early global development in children after one year of cochlear implant (CI) use.
