No longer considered an experimental procedure, cochlear implantation in young children with profound hearing loss has become almost commonplace. This paper reviews the efficacy of cochlear implantation in children with prelingual deafness. First, a brief introduction to cochlear implants is provided. Second, research regarding the effects of cochlear implantation in children with prelingual deafness on speech perception, speech production, and language development is reviewed. Finally, implications for early childhood educators are discussed.
