The language difficulties encountered by some children with hearing loss fitted with implants are still unexplained for about 13% of this population. These difficulties could be caused either by a language disorder independent of hearing loss, as observed in some children with normal hearing, or by hearing loss-related abnormalities in the auditory processing of language sounds.
To explore these hypotheses, Céline David, under the supervision of Professor Marie Gomot, will compare the language abilities and brain responses of children with hearing loss and with or without language disorders to those of children who hear well with or without language impairment.
A better understanding of the origin of these language disorders will lead to treatment that is better suited to the needs of these children, to enable them to achieve the best possible results.
