Assessment of Mandarin-speaking pediatric cochlear implant recipients with the Mandarin Early Speech Perception (MESP) test

These results provide preliminary validation of the MESP test for use in evaluation of Mandarin-speaking pediatric CI recipients. Use of objective outcome assessment tools such as the MESP following early cochlear implantation can be used to document the progress of CI recipients and identify those recipients who may need additional rehabilitative intervention.
