The current study aimed to compare speech perception score of children with Hearing impairment using CI and HA. The Hindi speech perception test was designed for children aged between two to six years-old. A total of 226 normal hearing children consisting four groups from 2 years to 6 years participated as normative sample. Test items were selected on the basis of familiarity & frequent consonants occurred in daily uses. Test consists of each set of 40 pictorial stimuli which scored 2 for auditory response, 1 for auditory and visual cues, zero for no response even after auditory and visual stimulation. Similarly in experimental groups, 30 subjects with HI using HA were recruited with mean age 8.083 years consisting of 13 female and 17 male. Other group comprises of 30 subjects with HI using CI with mean age 8.231 years and consisting of 14 female & 16 male. Both the group had exposure to aural –oral therapy for at least 3 years. After‘t’ tail test analysis it was seen that both the group had statistically significant difference in speech perception score. Subjects with CI showed significant higher score in speech perception ability. This research article further discussed the HA technical short coming over CI.
