Abstract
Many factors influence the speech rehabilitation progress, including: duration of deafness, aetiology, communication mode before implantation, family support. Meningitis can affect not only the cochlear hair cells, but also the upper stages of hearing paths or even other parts of the central nervous system. In the literature we can find the sentence: ‘Rate of neurologic sequelae in children who have had meningitis ranges from 20% to 30% and the prevalence of potentially subtle entities such as learning disability, perceptual and attention deficits, and behavioural problems may be even more pervasive.’ The aim of this study was to compare radiological and surgical observations with the evaluation of speech rehabilitation progress in patients implanted due to post-meningitic deafness.
