      abstract = {Our research is designed to investigate factors associated  with the language development in patients with cochlear  implants (CIs) who come from Hispanic families with limited  English proficiencies. Our research question is broken down  to three specific aims. One is to investigate possible  factors that could differentiate the Hispanic children with  CI(s) from monolingual households to those who are from  bilingual households. For example, we will be looking at  the caregivers' socioeconomic status, duration of therapy,  and age of the child at cochlear implant. If any of these  factors are statistically significant, they could explain  why Hispanic children with CIs who speaks primarily Spanish  have poorer language outcomes than their bilingual peers.  The second aim is to compare the children's language  fluency levels in Spanish, English, and American Sign  Language (ASL) between those who are raised in a  monolingual household and those who are raised in a  bilingual household. We will measure their language  outcomes based on the survey distributed to the caregivers.  Lastly, we will investigate if language concordance between  the healthcare providers and the caregivers is correlated  to the caregiver's perception on whether their child  receives adequate therapy. We propose there is a higher  degree of patients? satisfaction with therapy if the  healthcare provider speaks the same language as the  caregiver.},
