Abstract

This study analyzes the current state and developmental characteristics of phonological awareness in hearing-impaired preschool children with cochlear implants aged 3 to 5 years in China. The phonological awareness development of hearing-impaired preschool children is assessed via a comparison with normal-hearing preschool children of the same age, utilizing a number of key metrics and statistical analyses to determine any differences in the developmental characteristics between the two groups. The results show that the phonological awareness development of Chinese-speaking hearing-impaired preschool children with cochlear implants follows, for the most part, the progression of their normal-hearing preschool counterparts, albeit at a lower level. Identifying phonological awareness profiles in children with cochlear implants helps improve the accuracy of assessment and supports the development of targeted intervention strategies. This study aims to provide a clearer understanding of their phonological processing abilities.
