Benefit of pedopsychological examination in indication of cochlear implantation
In the case report, we report on a 3.5-year-old girl with bilateral severe chronic sensorineural hearing loss, a candidate for cochlear implantation. As part of the pedopsychological examination, we focused on evaluating the patient’s intellectual profile and assessing the applicant’s family background. Finally, we discuss the importance of factors that, from a psychological point of view, have a positive effect on the process of subsequent rehabilitation.
