Cortical P1 Latency, Sound Field Audiometry, and Speech Audiometry in Children with Sequential Bilateral Cochlear Implants: A Comparative Pilot Study

Background/Objectives: Objective assessment of auditory rehabilitation in children with cochlear implants (CIs) is challenging, as behavioral tests require cooperation that young children cannot always provide. The P1 component of the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) is a marker of central auditory maturation, but few studies have compared it directly with behavioral measures in children with sequential bilateral CIs.
