Abbreviations: CHIP-CE = Child Health and Illness Profile-Child Edition; SD = standard deviation; CI = cochlear implant; NH = normal hearing; CDaCI = Childhood Development after Cochlear Implantation

Standardized CHIP score mean = 50, SD = 10, where higher scores indicate better health.

Of the 129 child respondents, two children returned questionnaires that could not be scored for any domains because <70% of items in each domain were completed.
