Abstract
To allow hearing is the first aim of cochlear implant but the most desired result by the family and society is oral communication. As soon as hearing is reestablished language development must initiate, but it is not that simple. There is a number of factors such as time of diagnose of deafness, age at implantation, interval between diagnose and cochlear implant surgery, family participation, rehabilitation, individual characteristics(prematurity, Intensive care unit, genetics, other comorbidities) that will determine the speed and quality of language acquisition. A good pre implant evaluation to detect this factors and to help the family to understand the outcomes and the close evaluation of post implant development, having instruments to measure this results comparing the children with itself can optimize treatment planning and enhanceperformance.
