Methods:Prospective study of 15 postlingually deafened adult CI candidates tested preoperatively with a battery of cognitive assessments. The mini-mental state exam (MMSE), forward digit span, Stroop measure of inhibition-concentration, and test of word reading efficiency were utilized to assess cognition. consonant-nucleus-consonant words, AZBio sentences in quiet, and AZBio sentences in noise (+ 10 dB SNR) were utilized to assess speech recognition at 1-and 3-months of CI use.Results:Performance in all speech measures at 1-month was moderately correlated with preoperative MMSE, but these correlations were not strongly correlated after correcting for multiple comparisons. There were large correlations of forward digit span with 1-month AzBio quiet (P≤ 0.001, rho= 0.762) and AzBio noise (P≤ 0.001, rho= 0.860), both of which were strong after correction. At 3 months, forward digit span was strongly predictive of AzBio noise (P≤ 0.001, rho= 0.786), which was strongly correlated after correction. Changes in speech recognition scores were not correlated with preoperative cognitive test scores.Conclusions:Working memory capacity significantly predicted early CI sentence recognition performance in our small cohort, while other cognitive functions assessed did not. These results differ from prior studies predicting longer-term outcomes. Findings and further studies may lead to better preoperative counseling and help identify patients who require closer evaluation to ensure optimal CI performance.
