HYPOTHESES: 1) Scores of reading efficiency (the Test of Word Reading Efficiency, second edition) obtained in adults before cochlear implant surgery will be predictive of speech recognition outcomes 6 months after surgery; and 2) Cochlear implantation will lead to improvements in language processing as measured through reading efficiency from preimplantation to postimplantation.
BACKGROUND: Adult cochlear implant (CI) users display remarkable variability in speech recognition outcomes. "Top-down" processing-the use of cognitive resources to make sense of degraded speech-contributes to speech recognition abilities in CI users. One area that has received little attention is the efficiency of lexical and phonological processing. In this study, a visual measure of word and nonword reading efficiency-relying on lexical and phonological processing, respectively-was investigated for its ability to predict CI speech recognition outcomes, as well as to identify any improvements after implantation.
METHODS: Twenty-four postlingually deaf adult CI candidates were tested on the Test of Word Reading Efficiency, Second Edition preoperatively and again 6 months post-CI. Six-month post-CI speech recognition measures were also assessed across a battery of word and sentence recognition.
RESULTS: Preoperative nonword reading scores were moderately predictive of sentence recognition outcomes, but real word reading scores were not; word recognition scores were not predicted by either. No 6-month post-CI improvement was demonstrated in either word or nonword reading efficiency.
CONCLUSION: Phonological processing as measured by the Test of Word Reading Efficiency, Second Edition nonword reading predicts to a moderate degree 6-month sentence recognition outcomes in adult CI users. Reading efficiency did not improve after implantation, although this could be because of the relatively short duration of CI use.
