| Sumario: | The book strives to contextualize the changes that have occurred to date in this relatively young field and looks to the future of cochlear implantation in children. In the 15 years since the FDA approval of cochlear implants for children, there have been numerous technology advances as well as changes in candidacy criteria. Implantation has been extended to additional populations, including children presenting with cognitive challenges or children who come from homes in which there is a spoken language other than English. The drive to earlier and earlier implantation has resulted in a whole new community of professionals who need information about children and cochlear implants: the early interventionists. Years of data collection have yielded important information about performance trends in all children who use the device. The book also addresses these issues. |
