Influence of the Sensory Profile of Deaf Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders on the Outcome of Cochlear Implantation (PSIC-TSA)

August 18, 2022 updated by: University Hospital, Toulouse
An unpublished study conducted at Toulouse University Hospital revealed that 30% of implanted children with Autism Spectrum Disorders abandon their implant, while 70% of them keep it. The aim of this study is to evaluate the causes of this disparity, which is much greater than in children with cochlear implants without associated Autism Spectrum Disorders. Our problem is as follows: do the sensory hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity of deaf children with Autism Spectrum Disorders have an effect on the expected results after a cochlear implantation from a language and auditory reaction point of view?

  • 15 months to 10 years old and 6 months old at the time of implantation
  • Child with autism spectrum disorder (only for children group with autisme spectrum disorder)
  • No opposition from the legal representative of the authority to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Opposition by the legal representative of the child
  • Child under legal protection
