The objectives of this study were to (a) evaluate changes in speech intelligibility in a group of 110 adolescent users of cochlear implants who were first assessed in elementary school (CI-E) and later in high school (CI-HS) and (b) examine factors influencing speech intelligibility performance at the CI-E and CI-HS sessions.
