Abstract
Plain Language SummaryAuditory neuropathy (AN) is associated with fluctuations in rates of speech discrimination. With respect to treatment, we have variable results in the literature about development of speech perception and skills, in children with AN and cochlear implant (CI) rehabilitation. To compare their results with sensorineural hearing loss children due to other causes was the objective of this study, which was performed a systematic literature review with meta-analysis that shown there was no evidence allowing the conclusion that the two groups were different from each other about results in speech performance after 1 year of CI placement. So, this study demonstrated that CI provides the comparable benefit to children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder in comparison to children with neurosensory hearing loss associated with other causes in their speech development.
