Background: There is limited research comparing children with cochlear implants ́ (CIs) general quality of life (QOL) to their hearing-related QOL. This makes it difficult to know how common QOL predictors such as age of implantation, public versus private insurance, and identification with Deaf culture relate to both kinds of QOL in this population.Purpose: To compare general health QOL using a general measure of pediatric QOL with QOL as measured by a condition-specific QOL measure in children and young adults who received unilateral or bilateral CIs as children, and to understand how health service, sociodemographic, and Deaf culture factors relate to both the general and condition-specific QOL outcomes.Research Design: A case control study of a convenience sample of children and young adults who received CIs as children.Study Sample: Participants included 23 children with CIs, 29 parents of children with CIs, and 5 young adults with CIs. There were 23 participants with bilateral CIs and 11 with a unilateral CI.Data Collection and Analysis: Children with CIs ages 7-17 and their parents, parents of children with CIs ages 2-6, and adults with who received CIs as children but who were 18 and older at the time of the study were recruited by telephone or mail from a children's hospital in the Delta South. With consent, participants completed the appropriate version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 4.0 and the Hearing Environments Reflection on Quality of Life (HEARQL). Data on health service, sociodemographic, and Deaf culture factors were also collected. Analyses were conducted to compare and understand the relationship between general and hearing-related QOL, and to evaluate the associations between QOL and age of impanation, services received post-implantation, insurance status, and degree of Deaf culture identification.Results: There was a moderate positive correlation between the general and hearing-related QOL, which suggests that the general measure of QOL is likely not capturing all QOL concerns specific to children with hearing loss. Children with private insurance scored higher on both hearing-related and general QOL measures than those with public insurance. This study also found no significant difference in QOL between children who likely identified with Deaf culture and those who likely did not.Conclusions: Children with CIs reported a good general and hearing-related QOL. General pediatric QOL measures correlated only moderately with hearing-related specific QOL measures and are thus likely not capturing all QOL concerns important to children with hearing loss. Practitioners should consider evaluating hearing-related QOL in children with CIs and be mindful that children with public insurance may be vulnerable to sub-optimal QOL.
