Comparison of school readiness levels between children using bilateral hearing aids and children using bilateral cochlear implants

The human ear and its hearing thresholds are crucial senses that help children acquire social and academic skills, enabling them to remain an integral part of society. In this context, there are many objective and subjective tests available to assess children's school readiness. One of the most important assessment tools is the Metropolitan School Readiness Test. Our study was conducted with 22 patients, 14 of whom were female and 8 were male. After the necessary analyses, the school readiness levels of patients using bilateral cochlear implants and those using bilateral hearing aids were compared.
