So it is important to identify the factors contributing to this variation in the outcome. To assess auditory memory function in cochlear implant children and to compare between the response of normal hearing and cochlear implant children to tests for memory. The present study comprised fourty children of both genders ranging in age from 6-10 years old, divided into control group of twenty normal hearing children and study group of twenty children who suffered of prelingual bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss and had unilateral cochlear implantation. All subjects were submitted to full history taking, otologic examination, hearing evaluation, aided free field (to the study group) and the three memory tasks (recognition memory, memory for content and memory for sequence
