Abstract: Cochlear implantation is a device which is surgically implanted and makes the hearing and speech performance better in children. Category of Auditory Performance scale (CAP) & Speech Intelligibility Rating Scale (SIR) used to rate auditory outcomes & asses the intelligibility of speech from implanted children in everyday life both quiet and noisy environment. The aim of the study was to correlate CAP in both quiet and noisy environment with SIR performance in children who underwent unilateral cochlear implantation. In this study participants were prelingually hearing impaired children who had undergone unilateral cochlear implantation. A total of 30 children, 19 girls and 21 boys were included. Children with cochlear implant were assessed with CAP test and SIR. On the basis of their performances scores were given and calculated. Present study reveals that the correlation between CAP in quiet and noisy environment with Speech Intelligibility performance indicates that there is a good correlation in both the environment (quiet and noise) of children using unilateral implant. The study concluded that change in CAP score may directly influence SIR scores.
