The random forest technique, a tree-based study model, predicts the results by using random decision trees based on the bootstrap technique. Therefore, it has a high prediction power and fewer errors, which are advantages of this method. This study aimed to provide baseline data regarding the language therapy after cochlear implantation by identifying the factors associated with the speech intelligibility of children with cochlear implantation. This study evaluating the factors associated with the articulation accuracy of children with cochlear implantation. This study targeted 82 hearing-impaired children, who lived in Seoul, Incheon, and Suwon areas, were between 4 and 8 years old, and had been worn cochlear implant at least one year and less than five years. Explanatory variables used in this study included gender, age, household income, the wear time of a cochlear implant, vocabulary index, and corrected hearing. Speech intelligibility was analyzed using the 'speech intelligibility test tool' composed of nine sentences. The predictive model for speech intelligibility of children with cochlear implants was developed using random forest. The major predictors of the articulation accuracy of children with cochlear implantation were the wear time of a cochlear implant, the time since cochlear implantation, vocabulary, household income, age, and gender, in the order of the magnitude. The final error rate of the random forest model developed by generating 500 bootstrap samples was 0.22, and the prediction rate was 78.8%. The results of this study on a prediction model suggested that it would be necessary to implement cochlear implantation and to develop a customized aural rehabilitation program considering the linguistic ability of a subject for enhancing the speech intelligibility of a child with cochlear implantation.
