| Abstract: Early Diagnosis of and intervention for hearing loss as early as possible is very critical as early intervention is linked to better communication outcomes and good performance of children at school. Cochlear implantation is considered the most effective rehabilitation for individuals who are suffering from profound hearing loss and aren’t responsive to hearing aids. However; patients vary in their outcome and satisfaction after cochlear implantation. So, outcome measures for evaluation of performance with cochlear implantation is very important as adequate hearing is linked to improved communication school performance, development of speech and language, improve speech perception and discrimination in different environmental conditions and even enable CI users to use their cell phone. A successful cochlear implant program involves many steps starting by hearing screening and extend to postoperative rehabilitation. Good performance and positive outcomes of cochlear implantation can be carried in many manners as speech, reading, speech perception, and word learning skills. | ||
