ABSTRACT
Profound hearing loss is a disability that affects personality and when it involves teenagers before language acquisition, these bio-psychosocial conflicts can be exacerbated, requiring careful evaluation and choice of them for cochlear implant.

AIM:

To evaluate speech perception by adolescents with profound hearing loss, users of cochlear implants. STUDY

DESIGN:

Prospective. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

Twenty-five individuals with severe or profound pre-lingual hearing loss who underwent cochlear implantation during adolescence, between 10 to 17 years and 11 months, who went through speech perception tests before the implant and 2 years after device activation. For comparison and analysis we used the results from tests of four choice, recognition of vowels and recognition of sentences in a closed setting and the open environment.

RESULTS:

The average percentage of correct answers in the four choice test before the implant was 46.9 percent and after 24 months of device use, this value went up to 86.1 percent in the vowels recognition test, the average difference was 45.13 percent to 83.13 percent and the sentences recognition test together in closed and open settings was 19.3 percent to 60.6 percent and 1.08 percent to 20.47 percent respectively.

CONCLUSION:

All patients, although with mixed results, achieved statistical improvement in all speech tests that were employed.
RESUMO
A surdez profunda é uma deficiência que afeta a personalidade e quando se trata de adolescentes com surdez profunda pré-lingual, esses conflitos biopsicossociais são exacerbados, necessitando de cautela na avaliação e escolha destes candidatos ao implante coclear.

OBJETIVO:

Avaliar a percepção de fala em adolescentes portadores de surdez pré-lingual do tipo neurossensorial grave a profunda bilateral com implante coclear. FORMA DE ESTUDO Prospectivo. CASUÍSTICA E

MÉTODO:

Vinte e cinco indivíduos com surdez pré-lingual, sensório-neural, de grau severo ou profundo, que foram submetidos ao implante coclear na adolescência, definida entre 10 a 17 anos e 11 meses, passaram por testes de percepção de fala pré-implante e 2 anos após a ativação do dispositivo. Para análise, utilizamos os resultados dos testes de four choice, reconhecimento de vogais e sentenças em conjunto fechado e aberto.

RESULTADOS:

A média da porcentagem de acertos do teste de four choice antes do implante coclear era de 46,9 por cento e após, 2 anos de uso do dispositivo, a média foi para 86,1 por cento; no teste de vogais, a média foi de 45,13 por cento a 83,13 por cento; e no teste de sentenças em conjunto fechado e aberto foi de 19,3 por cento a 60,6 por cento e de 1,08 por cento a 20,47 por cento, respectivamente.

CONCLUSÃO:

Embora com resultados heterogêneos, todos obtiveram melhora estatística nos testes aplicados.
