Abstract: (1801 Views)
Background: Recovery of children does not appear on its own after cochlear implantation. Coherent, thoughtful, and comprehensive rehabilitation is needed to achieve complete success. The purpose of this study was to identify the types of rehabilitation interventions for children with cochlear implants that have been performed in Iran.
Methods: A scoping review study was conducted. An electronic search was carried out both in English and Persian. In English, the following keywords were used: cochlear implantation, child, cochlear implants, auditory rehabilitation, deaf, hearing loss, comprehensive, interventions, rehabilitation, and telerehabilitation and a combination of them in ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus databases, Web of Sciences, Medline and Embase. Persian electronic search was conducted in the Scientific Information Database (SID) of Jihad Daneshgahi, Iran Journals Database (MagIran), and Islamic World Science Citation Database (ISC). Searches were done using articles published until September 25, 2020, and a total of 902 articles were found, of which 14 were directly related to the purpose of the study. Interventional studies were included in the study, and the quality of studies was measured using the Structured Effectiveness Quality Evaluation Scale.
Results: The results showed that using music and rehabilitation equipment, different methods of speech therapy and auditory training, story-based instruction, creative play, family-centered instruction, and occupational therapy are interventions in cochlear implant rehabilitation. Speech therapy accounts for 54% of the rehabilitation share. The mean number of rehabilitation sessions was 26. These interventions were all somehow effective in children with cochlear implantation; the longer the training duration, the better the results.
Conclusion: The process of cochlear implant rehabilitation in children is multi-professional; auditory training and speech therapy possesses the highest share of rehabilitation. Therefore, it is recommended to develop speech therapy centers in Iran.
