1) Scores of reading efficiency (the Test of Word Reading Efficiency, 2nd Edition, TOWRE-2) obtained in adults prior to cochlear implant (CI) surgery will be predictive of speech recognition outcomes 6 months after surgery; and 2) Cochlear implantation will lead to improvements in language processing as measured through reading efficiency from pre- to post-implantation. Adult CI users display remarkable variability in speech recognition outcomes. “Top-down” processing – the use of cognitive resources to make sense of degraded speech – contributes to speech recognition abilities in CI users. One area that has received little attention is the efficiency of lexical and phonological processing. In this study, a visual measure of word and nonword reading efficiency – relying upon lexical and phonological processing, respectively – was investigated for its ability to predict CI speech recognition outcomes, as well as to identify any improvements after implantation. Twenty-four post-lingually deaf adult CI candidates were tested on the TOWRE-2 pre-operatively and again 6 months post-CI. Six-month post-CI speech recognition measures were also assessed across a battery of word and sentence recognition. Pre-operative nonword reading scores were moderately predictive of sentence recognition outcomes, but real word reading scores were not; word recognition scores were not predicted by either. No 6-month post-CI improvement was demonstrated in either word or nonword reading efficiency. Phonological processing as measured by the TOWRE-2 nonword reading predicts to a moderate degree 6-month sentence recognition outcomes in adult CI users. Reading efficiency did not improve after implantation, though this could be due to the relatively short duration of CI use.
