Methods: Cochlear implanted children aged 48 to 107 months (n = 70) were included in this study. The children were divided into two groups based on their diagnosis-intervention timing: those who used hearing aids and were enrolled in auditory rehabilitation before 6 months, as well as those who had cochlear implants before 24 months, were in the early group, while the others were in the late group. The Turkish versions of the “Test of Language Development Primary Fourth Edition (TOLD-P: 4)” and the “Phoneme Recognition Test (PRT)” were used to assess language sub-component skills. Results: The early group’s language performance was considerably higher than the late group’s. The statistically positive correlations between PRT and Word Identification, Phonemic Analysis, Articulation tests were found. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the importance of early diagnosis-intervention for hearing loss and that the main success of cochlear implant should be in all components of language.}, number={3}, publisher={Türkiye Odyologlar ve Konuşma Bozuklukları Derneği}
