The outcomes of deaf children with cochlear implants tend to surpass the outcomes of non-implanted deaf peers; however, they remain highly variable, and may be influenced by a number of different factors. One factor is the language-learning environment children are exposed to post-implantation. The evidence into which environment is most advantageous for children\u2019s outcomes is mixed, with different studies recommending either spoken language-only, bimodal bilingual, or simultaneous communication models. In this essay, recent research comparing the outcomes of children from different language-learning environments is presented and discussed. There is strong evidence that bimodal bilingualism has a number of advantages for linguistic, cognitive, and social-emotional outcomes. However, there are significant barriers to its development in all children. This essay concludes that use of simultaneous communication in schools and at home is a viable alternative, but that further research within the UK context is needed. The wider implications of this approach are discussed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/edpsych\/files\/2021\/07\/Cochlear-Implants-2018-Lynn-De-La-Fosse.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download (PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assignment type: Essay Author: Lynn De La Fosse Submitted: November 2018 The use of paediatric cochlear implants has increased significantly over the last decade.
