Department of Otolaryngology, Otsu Red Cross Hospital.

A multichannel cochlear implantation was performed in an 8-year-old child and the following results were obtained. The surgical procedures were not particularly difficult as compared to cochlear implantation for adults. Postoperative rehabilitation requires a longer time than in adult patients. Cochlear implants are useful not only for the recognition of environmental sound but also for the recognition of speech. Cooperation with the medical facility, as well teachers and family members, is essential.
