d. Exchange of the speech processor
e. None of the above - answer- e. None of the above
Which of the following are a risk of cochlear implant surgery?
a. Insertion of the implant may destroy any residual hearing left
b. The greater risk is not getting a cochlear implant and depriving the brain of auditory
stimuli

How does the age of cochlear implantation affect language abilities? - answer- b.
Children implemented before 2.5 years have higher assessment scores in expressive
vocabulary, expressive syntax, and pragmatic judgements compared to peers with older
ages of implementation
What are the general characteristics of the home auditory environment of children with
CIs vs. children with (normal hearing) NH?
a. Children with NH are exposed to a larger amount of noise (e.g., rattles, bumps, other
nonhuman signals) than children with CIs.
b. Child hearing status does not significantly influence measures of adult word count,
television and media, and overlapping speech.
c. Background television reduces parent responsiveness to children with hearing aids.
d. Higher maternal education was associated with increased conversational turns and
child vocalizations for both groups.
e. All the above. - answer- e. All the above.
According to the research conducted by Peng et al., which factor is associated with
higher speech intelligibility scores in pediatric CI users with 7 years of experience?
a. The multipeak speech-coding strategy, when used by children implanted at older
ages yielded higher speech intelligibility scores
b. The write-down procedure yielded higher speech intelligibility scores than rating-scale
procedures
c. Speech intelligibility scores are unaffected by the type of strategy used
d. Children using the multipeak speech-coding strategy yielded higher speech
intelligibility scores than those using the spectral-peak speech-coding strategy
e. Children implanted at younger ages, when paired with the spectral-peak speech-
coding strategy, yielded higher speech intelligibility scores - answer- e. Children
implanted at younger ages, when paired with the spectral-peak speech-coding strategy,
yielded higher speech intelligibility scores
