Aim
It is sometimes difficult, particularly for new cochlear implant centres or isolated professionals, to get easy access to a range of evaluation tests for deaf children. The objectives were to gather in a single document some commonly used tools for the evaluation of speech perception and production in profoundly deaf children using hearing aids or cochlear implants.Target Group
