Abstract

We observed the process of auditory language acquisition in a congenitally deaf infant receiving cochlear implant at the age of 4 years. The influences of visual cues acquired preoperatively, such as lip-reading and sign-language etc, on the acquisition of auditory language after cochlear implantation were examined.<br>The cues acquired visual helped to make the auditory infomation by cochlear implant meaningful, and to develop patient's syntactic function. The patient seemed to acquire and develop his language through audition after cochlear implantation in the daily communication with lip-reading and/or sign-language etc. It seems important to help children with a cochlear implant to make the auditory information through cochlear implant meaningful and spontaneous.
