Summary
This trial is exploring how to predict language outcomes in children who receive cochlear implants to help hearing loss. The goal is to improve the children's language through more effective therapies.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for children under 5 with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss who are candidates for cochlear implantation, and speak English or Spanish. It's also open to kids under 7 at the Lurie site with unilateral hearing loss meeting implant criteria. Participants must be exposed to spoken language at home.
What is being tested?
The study aims to develop neural predictive models based on brain imaging to forecast language development post-cochlear implantation. It will test if a custom therapy called Parent-Implemented Communication Treatment (PICT) can improve language in those predicted to have lower outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral therapy rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be indirect effects such as fatigue or frustration associated with intensive educational programs.
