Abstract

Objectives: To assess the English reading comprehension skill of Japanese middle school students with cochlear implants (CIs).

Materials and methods: The subjects were pre- or perilingually deafened CI recipients between seventh and ninth grades (age 12-15 years). English reading comprehension skill was evaluated using the Norm Referenced Test developed for Japanese students. Furthermore, factors related to English reading comprehension were assessed, focusing on a total of 11 variables: age; sex; age at CI; length of CI use; aided pure-tone thresholds with CI; Japanese listening word recognition score; performance intelligence quotient (PIQ) score; verbal intelligence quotient (VIQ); grade; school type; and Japanese reading comprehension skill.

Results: A total of 40 subjects completed the test. Their average word recognition score was good, at 80.2%,and the average age at CI was late, at 4.4 years. The chi-square goodness of fit test showed the English reading comprehension skill level deviated toward lower achievement in the students with CIs compared with children with normal-hearing. VIQ and Japanese reading comprehension skill were correlated with English reading skill. On the other hand, there was no relationship between English reading skill and the factors of hearing level and CI experience.

日本人工耳蜗中学生英语阅读理解能力的研究。

目的:评价日本中学生人工耳蜗的英语阅读理解能力。材料和方法:研究对象为七年级至九年级(12-15岁)的失聪前或失聪周围CI接受者。使用为日本学生开发的规范参照测验评估英语阅读理解能力。此外，我们还评估了与英语阅读理解相关的因素，重点关注了11个变量:年龄;性;年龄在CI;CI使用长度;CI辅助纯音阈值;日语听力单词识别分数;绩效智商(PIQ)分数;语言智商(VIQ);年级;学校类型;日语阅读理解能力。结果:共40名受试者完成了测试。他们的平均单词识别得分很好，为80.2%，CI的平均年龄较晚，为4.4岁。卡方拟合优度检验显示，听力障碍学生的英语阅读理解水平较听力正常儿童低。VIQ和日语阅读理解能力与英语阅读能力相关。另一方面，英语阅读技能与听力水平和CI经验因素之间没有关系。

期刊介绍： Cochlear Implants International was founded as an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal in response to the growing number of publications in the field of cochlear implants. It was designed to meet a need to include scientific contributions from all the disciplines that are represented in cochlear implant teams: audiology, medicine and surgery, speech therapy and speech pathology, psychology, hearing therapy, radiology, pathology, engineering and acoustics, teaching, and communication. The aim was to found a truly interdisciplinary journal, representing the full breadth of the field of cochlear implantation.
