Executive functions have both direct and indirect effects on reading comprehension. Previous studies have shown that people with hearing loss (HL) perform poorly on executive functions and reading comprehension tasks. This scoping review explored the current state of the literature relating executive function and reading comprehension in children and adolescents with cochlear implants. Searches were carried out in five databases to identify empirical studies related to executive functions, reading comprehension, and children and/or adolescents with cochlear implants. All results were analysed by peer-reviewers. A systematic search only found four studies in the field. We carried out our narrative review of these papers, with a focus on the mediating role of oral language on the relationship between executive functions and reading comprehension.
