Investigating the Neural Oscillatory Features for Limited Access to Oral Language in Deaf Children With Early Bilateral Cochlear Implantation

Children with severe-to-profound congenital hearing loss often experience significant language development challenges. While cochlear implants (CIs) can restore auditory input, outcomes vary widely, even among those who receive implants early (before age 2) and undergo consistent speech therapy. This study aims to identify neural mechanisms underlying these differences.
