------>fullAbstract=OBJECTIVES: To examine the production and discrimination skills of Mandarin initial-consonant syllables in children with cochlear implants (CIs), as a function of both age at implantation and length of CI experience. In addition, we also aimed to evaluate the relationship between these children~s perception and production profiles. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty prelingually deaf children aged between 6 years 0 months and 12 years 6 months who received their implants between the ages of 2 years 3 months and 10 years 3 months participated. The ability of the children to produce the 21 Mandarin initial-consonant syllables were elicited using a set of 105 pictures. In addition, the 21 consonants were arranged into 16 minimal pairs to determine the children~s discrimination skills by asking them to accurately identify the target consonants. RESULTS: The children~s mean accurate consonant production score was 57.9% (SD 19.5%) and the average correct consonant discrimination score was 76.67% (SD 11.18%), which was significantly higher than the 50% chance level [t(29) = 13.07: p < 0.001]. There were significant negative correlations between the performance level of consonant production and both age at implantation and length of CI experience. Children who received their implants at a younger age (< 6 years) tended to demonstrate an acquisition profile similar to that of children with normal hearing, i.e. the production and perception skills tended toward near-synchronization, and the mastery of production slightly preceded that of perception. CONCLUSION: This report demonstrates that early implantation is associated with a near-synchronous acquisition profile of the production and discrimination of Mandarin consonants, which is similar to that of normal-hearing children at a younger age. Specifically, early implantation can promote children~s production skills of Mandarin initial-consonant syllables.
