Language development in children after receiving bilateral cochlear implants between 5 and 18 months

Conclusions
The present study showed that prelingually deaf children’s ability to develop complex expressive and receptive spoken language after early bilateral implantation appears promising.

The majority of the children developed language skills at a faster pace than their hearing ages would suggest and over time achieved expressive and receptive language skills within the normative range.
