Abstract

The objective of this research is to determine the level of nonverbal intelligence of a pediatric patient diagnosed with severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss who has undergone two evaluations. In the first evaluation, the patient was not a hearing aid user; while in the second evaluation she was a hearing aid user, with one year of auditory-verbal rehabilitation and occupational therapy. The present study explored general intellectual aptitude with reduced language intervention to evaluate special circumstances, such as children with language acquisition problems, which is the case of the pediatric patient. This intellectual aptitude is related to processing speed, working memory, abstract and conceptual reasoning, and spatial reasoning. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the importance of rehabilitation to achieve a better quality of life for the patient.
