Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to describe the type of the rehabilitation method for italian children with cochlear implant . The main questions are:

What is the most used rehabilitation methods in implanted children? Which is the prevalence of each method related to the clinical features of the patients?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The cochlear implant represents the gold standard in the treatment of children with bilateral severe-profound deafness. However, the current Italian and international guidelines do not address the issue of rehabilitation and how the different rehabilitation methods should be applied in relation to the different clinical pictures. The aim of this study is therefore to describe which methods are used today in the rehabilitation of deaf children with cochlear implants followed at the Phoniatrics and Speech Therapy service of the A. Gemelli Polyclinic Foundation. The creation of a questionnaire directed to the speech therapist who treats the specific patient is available in order to collect data concerning the characteristics of the setting and the rehabilitation method in relation to the most applied methodologies, i.e. Auditory-verbal therapy, oral-cognitive therapy, bimodal method and the Drežančić method.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Children diagnosed with severe-profound hearing loss and cochlear implant carriers followed at the Fondazione Policlinico universitario a. Gemelli in the last 10 years;
* Age \>12 months and \<10 years

Exclusion Criteria:

* Children diagnosed with mild to moderate hearing loss without a cochlear implant;
* Age \<12 months and \>10 years

Outcomes measures

* Describe which methods are used today in the rehabilitation of the deaf child with a cochlear implant
* Describe the prevalence of the different methodologies in relation to the clinical characteristics of the patients.

Endpoints:

-% distribution of the 4 rehabilitation methods: cognitive oralism, verb-tonal, Auditory-Verbal therapy and bimodal
