Introduction and objective: Severe to profound grades of the prelocutive auditory deficiency (AD) are considered a disability with significant consequences on intellectual development of children. In this context, early diagnostics and treatment arise as an effective solution. Method: Retrospective, longitudinal analysis of 72 implanted patients, younger than 14 years, and comparison of audiometric parameters before and after surgery, and analysis of verbal development at 2 years after intervention. Results: Post-surgical follow-up showed an audiometric gain at 2 years of 62,79 dB (SD=14,86 dB) (p0,05). |
