  Speech perception plays a significant role in the development of speech and language ability in children with hearing loss. There are various speech perception tests with the specific protocol to administer and score. Auditory evoked potential is an objective measure used for assessing hearing acuity in young children. Higher cortical evoked potential test provides an effective indication of the physiological status of auditory cortex. CEAP can be obtained in young children with assistive devices. The present research study aims to investigate whether latency and amplitude of aided cortical evoked potential can predict Speech perception score in cochlear implant users. 52 cochlear implant users and 102 typical children were tested. The mean age for children using cochlear implant was 8.05 years, standard deviation 1.4. The normal hearing group had a mean age of 8.12 years and standard.. View More»
