However, results are variable and depend on many factors: etiology, age of implantation, family involvement, quality of rehabilitation.

The implant provides access to sound, but the brain must learn to interpret this new signal. Speech therapy is <strong>essential<\/strong> after implantation, often intensive at first (several sessions per week), then regular over several years.

Some families opt for an exclusive oralist approach, others for bilingualism (LSF + spoken French). LSF can be a valuable support, especially while waiting for the implant or if the implant is removed (failure, bath, sleep).
