Cizmeci H, et al. - Researchers assessed the gap filling skills and reading mistakes of students with cochlear implants, and compared their results with those of their normal-hearing peers. They also analyzed the effects of implantation age and total time of cochlear implant use in relation to the reading skills development of the subjects. For the gap filling, compared to their normal-hearing peers, the performances of implanted students in the passage are lower. Age and duration of implantation had no significant impact on the reading performances of implanted students. Results demonstrated that in the reading performances, significant differences were noted in implanted students compared with those of their normal-hearing peers in older classes.
