Abstract

Objective: This study's aim is the assessment of language development of children with Cochlea Implant (CI). It focusses on receptive and expressive language development as well as auditory memory skills. Material and Methods: Grimm's language development test (SETK 3-5) evaluates receptive, expressive language development and auditory memory. Data of 49 children who received their implant within their first 3 years of life were compared to the norms of hearing children at the age of 3,0-3,5 years. According to the age at implantation the cohort was subdivided in 3 groups: cochlear implantation within the first 12 months of life (group 1), during the 13th and 24th months of life (group 2) and after 25 or more months of life (group 3). Results: It was possible to collect complete data of all SETK 3-5 subtests in 63 % of the participants. A homogeneous profile of all subtests indicates a balanced receptive and expressive language development. Thus reduces the gap between hearing/language age and chronological age. Receptive and expressive language and auditory memory milestones in children implanted within their first year of life are achieved earlier in comparison to later implanted children. Conclusion: The Language Test for Children (SETK 3-5) is an appropriate test procedure to be used for language assessment of children who received a CI. It can be used from age 3 on to administer data on receptive and expressive language development and auditory memory.
