Peer reviewedOsberger, Mary Joe; And Others – Volta Review, 1994
The speech intelligibility of 18 children with prelingual deafness was examined after using cochlear implants for an average of 3 years. The average speech intelligibility score of the nine children using oral communication was significantly higher than that of nine children using total communication. (DB)

Peer reviewedChin, Steven B. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2002
Analysis of stop consonant production by 12 children (ages 6-12) who have used cochlear implants for at least 5 years indicates children's stop inventories differed from English mainly in having additional, non-English stops. Total communication users had fewer ambient stops and more nonambient ones that did oral communication users. (Contains…
