Social skills in young children with cochlear implants
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how deaf children who got a cochlear implant very early (before 15 months old) develop social skills like understanding others' feelings and thoughts. It uses a questionnaire to track this development, which could help improve support for other children with implants.

This study looks at how well cochlear implant users do musical and voice skills, including children and adults who use one or two implants. You might benefit by helping researchers understand how these skills develop and how devices work over time.
This study uses a non-painful brain-light monitor to check how hearing and thinking skills change after a cochlear implant in deaf children. It also compares results with children who have normal hearing.
This study looks at brain activity in deaf children who received cochlear implants early in life, to understand why some have limited spoken language. It may help improve support for children with implants.
This study looks at how parent support helps children who get cochlear implants very early, and how well their language develops. You may be able to join if your child meets the timing and hearing/implant requirements and you speak French at home.
This study looks at how children with cochlear implants develop language and how speech-language therapy can help. It may be a good fit for children who received a cochlear implant between 8 and 24 months old and have had follow-up care for at least two years.
This study checks whether cochlear implants help young children (ages about 7 months to under 3 years) who have very severe hearing loss in one ear. It also compares them with similar children who do not get implants, to understand what outcomes to expect.
