AB  - 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.
