Speech perception plays a significant role in
the development of speech and language ability in children with hearing loss.
There are various speech perception tests with the specific protocol to
administer and score.
Auditory evoked potential is an objective
measure used for assessing hearing acuity in young children. Higher cortical
evoked potential test provides an
effective indication of the physiological status of auditory
cortex. CEAP can be obtained in young children with assistive devices.
The present research study aims to investigate
whether latency and amplitude of aided cortical evoked potential can predict
Speech perception score in cochlear implant users.
