【摘要】It has been almost 35 years since the editor of this issue,Dr.Richard Miyamoto,introduced me to the child who would be my first pediatric cochlear implant (CI) patient.Dr.Miyamoto had hired me as part of his co-investigator team at Indiana University School of Medicine.He had implanted many adults over the previous 5 years,but entering into the world of pediatric cochlear implantation was truly a remarkable frontier.That first child,implanted with a single-channel House 3M device,taught me a great deal about how electrically-evoked hearing could contribute to the development of speech,language and literacy in a deaf child.Since that time,Dr.Miyamoto and I have a combined experience working with over two thousand children with CIs,and each one has taught us something unique. 【总页数】5页(P.235-239)
