Copious evidence indicates that, even in the first year of life, children’s language development is beginning and is impacted by a wide array of cognitive and social processes. The extent to which these processes are dependent on early language input is a critical concern for most deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children, who, unlike hearing children, are usually not immersed in a language-rich environment until effective interventions, such as hearing aids or cochlear implants, are implemented. Importantly, some cognitive and social processes are not dependent on the early availability of language input and begin to develop before children are fitted for hearing aids or cochlear implants. Interventions involving parent training may be helpful for enhancing social underpinnings of language and for maximizing DHH children’s language learning once effective hearing devices are in place. Similarly, cognitive training for DHH children may also provide benefit to bolster language development.

Introduction The mismatch negativity (MMN) is a negative long-latency auditory potential elicited by any discriminable change in a repetitive aspect of auditory stimulation. This evoked potential can provide cortical information about the sound processing, including in children who use cochlear implants. Objective To identify MMN characteristics regarding latency, amplitude, and wave area in cochlear implanted children and to identify associations among language development, speech perception and family involvement. Methods This is a descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study, which compared two groups: study group—children with cochlear implant, and control group—hearing children. The children were submitted to MMN evaluation with non-verbal tone burst stimulus, differing in frequency in sound field at 70 dBHL, with SmartEP equipment (Intelligent Hearing Systems, Miami, FL, USA). Speech perception and language development questionnaires were also applied, and the family participation in the rehabilitation process was classified. Results The occurrence of MMN was 73.3% for the control group and 53.3% for the study group. Values of latency, amplitude and area of MMN of children using cochlear implants were similar to those of hearing children, and did not differ between groups. The occurrence of MMN was not correlated to the variables of hearing, language and family categories. Conclusion Children with cochlear implants showed similar MMN responses to those of the children in the control group, with mean latency, amplitude and area of 208.9 ms (±12.8), -2.37 μV (±0.38) and 86.5 μVms (±23.4), respectively. There was no correlation between the presence of MMN and children's performance in the auditory and language development tests or family involvement during rehabilitation.

RESUMOObjetivo: Conhecer como as famílias de crianças surdas usuárias de Implante Coclear percebem o desenvolvimento de linguagem da criança e relacionar esses dados com o tempo de uso diário e a quebra do dispositivo. Métodos: Trata-se de pesquisa de caráter exploratório com abordagem quantitativa. Realizou-se um levantamento do número de crianças implantadas em um serviço de saúde auditiva de um hospital escola, entre 2013 e 2015 e para aqueles que aceitaram participar da pesquisa, aplicou-se entrevista e a Escala de Aquisições Iniciais de Linguagem (ELM) com um dos membros da família, sendo esta áudio-gravada, via contato telefônico. Resultados: Das 66 crianças implantadas neste período, 52 participaram da pesquisa, sendo que destas 51 utilizavam o dispositivo. Verificou-se que a maioria (90,4%) frequentava terapia fonoaudiológica e as famílias relataram que estimulam o desenvolvimento da linguagem das crianças em casa. Aquelas classificadas com desenvolvimento de linguagem típico receberam o implante coclear precocemente, utilizavam o implante coclear o dia todo e nunca tiveram o equipamento quebrado. Quanto à Escala ELM, foi encontrado que existem mais casos de desenvolvimento típico para linguagem receptiva do que para a expressiva. Conclusão: Houve relação entre o uso do dispositivo e o desenvolvimento típico e a quebra do equipamento com desenvolvimento atípico de linguagem. Os familiares referiram que a compreensão de linguagem encontra-se mais adequada do que a produção da fala.

Methods: The research was observational, exploratory, with quantitative approach. A survey of the number of patients implanted in a Hearing Health Service of a public hospital was done, between 2013 and 2015 and it was applied an interview and the Early language Milestone Scale with one of the family members, audio-recorded, through telephone contact. Results: Out of the 66 implanted children, 52 families participated in the research and 51 used the device. It was verified that most of the children (90.04%) were in speech and language therapy and the families stimulated language development at home. The children with typical language development got the IC early in life, used the device all day and the implant never broke. In the ELM scale, it was found that there are more cases of typical development for receptive language than for expressive. Conclusion: There was a relationship between the use of the device and typical language development and the problems in the device with atypical language development. The families see that the children show receptive language development better than the expressive language.Key words: Cochlear Implantation; Deafness; Hearing Loss; Language; Child Development
