Hearing, Executive, Language and Learning Outcomes Project
Despite dramatic improvement in spoken language skills after cochlear implantation, many children with cochlear implants fall behind their hearing peers in language development. The Hearing, Executive, Language and Learning Outcomes (HELLO) project’s research has shown that about one in three children with cochlear implants has a mild or greater delay in executive functioning. This research project aims to understand why some children with cochlear implants develop average or better executive functioning and language skills while others experience less positive outcomes in these areas.
