Tiny recorder may boost language in deaf toddlers after cochlear implant
NCT ID NCT05917496
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 38 times
Summary
This study tests whether a small recording device called LENA can help speech therapists guide parents to improve their deaf child's language development after early cochlear implantation. Thirty children implanted before 18 months old will wear the recorder at home for two 10-hour sessions, six months apart. The recordings measure adult words, child vocalizations, and conversation turns, and therapists use this data to support parents. The goal is to see if this feedback increases conversation turns and vocabulary.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
LENA (Language ENvironment Analysis) recording device and speech therapy feedback
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.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 30 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The LENA tool only measures quantity of words and turns, not quality of interaction.
