Introduction : Some school or college-goers with post lingual deafness have found it difficult to comprehend teachings in classes or participate in outdoors academic activities with conventional hearing aids. It has soon disturbed their performance at certain stage after years with the old aids. This also indirectly may affect their quality of lives. However, in view of variable results among cochlear implant recipients, we are interested to subjectively measure the quality of life and academic and social performances in these population in our centre. Objectives : To subjectively measure the quality of life and academic and social performances in these population in our centre. Methods : A cross-sectional study in a group of 9 school or college-goers with post lingual deafness of both genders, with mean duration of cochlear implant use of 3.5 years. The Nijmegen Cochlear Implantation Questionnaire and the generic World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire were used. Results : Amongst the best assessed domains for the quality of life questionnaire are the social and psychological domains. Academic or social participations improved significantly. The variables including level of education and social backgrounds also influenced the results of both questionnaires. Otherwise, variables such as gender or time of implantation did not show significant effect on the quality of life. Conclusion : From the cochlear implant users perspectives, both questionnaires showed that cochlear implant has given benefits in different aspects related to quality of life [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
