Age at implantation and development of vocal and auditory preverbal skills in implanted deaf children
TL;DR: Vocal and auditory preverbal skills develop much more rapidly in children implanted between 1 and 2 years in comparison with older implanted children and reach a significantly higher level by 6 and 12 months post-implantation.

TL;DR: Profoundly deaf bilaterally implanted children are significantly more likely to use vocalisation to communicate, and to use audition when interacting vocally with an adult, compared with unilaterally implanted children.

The use and reliability of Tait video analysis in assessing preverbal language skills in profoundly deaf and normally hearing children under 12 months of age.
TL;DR: The very high rate of inter-observer reliability suggests that the video recordings of children under 12 months can be scored consistently, and Tait video analysis is therefore a valid method of monitoring the development of vocal and auditory preverbal skills in very young deaf children, either following cochlear implantation or using acoustic hearing aids.
