Dr. Houston said: "This research is significant because surgery at very young ages requires more expertise. It is important to know if the increased benefit of early auditory input warrants surgery at younger ages."
Dr. Houston concluded: "Taken together, the findings suggest that early access to auditory input, even if the access to sound is quite impoverished, plays an important role in acquiring the ability to rapidly learn associations between spoken words and their meanings."
