Tiny recorder may boost talking in deaf children with cochlear implants

NCT ID NCT05917496

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a small recording device called LENA can help speech therapists guide parents to improve their child's language environment. Thirty children with profound congenital deafness who received a cochlear implant before 18 months old will wear the recorder at home for two 10-hour sessions, six months apart. The goal is to see if feedback from the recordings increases conversation turns and vocabulary.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that using LENA recordings helps parents and therapists boost language development in young children with cochlear implants.
