Teens: A Whole 'Nother World

 

This presentation examines the special characteristics and needs of adolescent cochlear implant recipients. Recommendations are made for creating habilitation programs that are motivating and challenging but at the same time yield the early success that will keep teenagers engaged in learning to listen with their implants. Case examples provide profiles of distinct groups of implant users in the adolescent population.
