This study examined the receptive and expressive language benefits of cochlear implantation of children with CHARGE syndrome. CHARGE syndrome involves multiple congenital abnormalities including deafness and blindness. Four children exhibiting co-occurring cochlear implants and CHARGE syndrome were evaluated to determine the amount of language gained since implantation. Three of the four children made gains in receptive communication skills. Expressive communication post implantation increased in most cases, but the children did not necessarily develop functional verbal communication. Due to limitations of the study, it is not known whether the increase in receptive and expressive communication is due to therapy intervention, growth and development, or the cochlear implant. This study assisted in collecting baseline data for a prospective study
