This study investigates the subjective benefits of cochlear implants in children with multiple handicaps according to their primary parent or gaurdian. The study enrolled twenty-one subjects from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center who have received a cochlear implant and have been diagnosed with at least one disability in addition to hearing loss. Children of all ages, races, and sex were eligible for participation. Participants in this study were notified of the study through their rehabilitation therapist or through letter. An interview time was then set up. At the interview. parents were asked questions from the designed questionnaire. Audiologic and demographic information was collected via chart review for additional analysis. As more children with multiple handicaps are receiving cochlear implants, it is important to better understand the needs of this population as well as the parents' perception of the benefit to provide them the best services and opprotunities to succeed with a cochlear implant. Results of this study and other related research will improve the quality of services and may lead to greater benefits in children with a cochlear implant and multiple handicaps.
