Fourteen children and three adults, each congenitally and prelinguistically deaf, received the Nucleus multichannel implant. All underwent extensive evaluations and rehabilitation. The surgery was uneventful, and no patients have been lost to follow-up. Results have shown a significant increase in auditory and speech reception and perception skills in all children. Some children have open-set speech recognition using the prosthesis alone. The adults have shown an increased awareness of sound along with minimal improvement in perceptual skills. This supports the concept that early implantation of congenitally and prelinguistically deaf individuals results in improved performance.
