Abstract

The research aimed at recognizing the differences between children with cochlear implants as well as the variations between male and female ones in terms of articulation disorders and life quality. The sample consisted of 30 male and female children with cochlear implants, within an age range of (9-12) years old. The research depended on the comparative relational descriptive approach. The following tools have also been used: Stanford Binet Intelligence Test (Fifth Edition, prepared by Gale H. Roid, and translated by Safwat Farag (2015), Screening Articulation Disorders Scale (prepared by the researcher), Quality of Life for people with Cochlear Implants Scale (prepared by McRackan, T. R., et al,2019, and translated by the researcher), as well as the Economic, Social, and Cultural Family Level Form (prepared by Shaimaa Ibrahim Hegazi, 2017). The findings of the study disclosed the existence of statistically significant differences between the grades of male and female children with cochlear implants on both the scales of articulation disorders and quality of life. The average grade for male children was high in articulation disorders as opposed to a medium grade for female ones, and the average grade for male children was lower in relation to the quality of life than that of female ones.
