Overview

Investigates the influence of auditory status on facial emotion recognition in adolescents, indicating potential therapeutic implications.

Key Points

To examine the influence of auditory status on visual emotion recognition in adolescents, and its relationship with social interactions.
Participants included adolescents with typical hearing and cochlear implants.
They performed a task viewing faces with varying emotion intensities (60%, 80%, 100%).
Questionnaires assessed social relationship quality and emotion recognition performance.
Adolescents with typical hearing performed better in recognizing emotions at 80% intensity compared to cochlear implant users (p = 0.02).
CI users showed better recognition correlating with older age and improved speech-in-noise abilities.
Differences suggest CI users process facial expressions differently, impacting their social interactions.
