This exploratory study aimed to assess guardians’ satisfaction with the effects of cochlear implants on the educational, linguistic, self-reliant and social performance of their children, and the demographic variables associated with these parameters.

a sample of 58 participants responded to the questionnaire, with the results showing satisfaction ratings ranging from medium to high.

there were no significant differences between the degree of satisfaction with the demographic variables such as gender, age, severity of deafness, or compliance with programming and training sessions.

an exception was a significant difference found in favour of unilateral versus bilateral implant users with regards to educational performance.

the study also found an inverse relationship between the age of receiving a cochlear implant and the degree of guardians’ satisfaction.

the study concludes by highlighting the necessity for awareness and follow-up with the aforementioned parameters, as well as the need for continuous guardian involvement in developing their children’s skills and meeting their expectations.
