　　　　　From 1988 till now, more than 100 hearing-impaired persons have been taken cochlear implantation operation in Taiwan. Eighty persons of them are youngsters and preschool children under the age of 15, fifty persons are above the age of 15. As the cochlear implantational becomes a known alternative of a sensory aid, however, the empirical studies of the effectiveness of cochlear implants are few, and the information to understand the benefits of the operation (before and after) are rare. When the needs are getting higher by the implanted, the parents and the special education teachers, the purpose of this research becomes important as well as a leading study of new era. This research analyses the communicative functions of 44 children under the age of 15, and 31 adolescents and adults with cochlear implants. For understanding the overall feedback of the implanted, researchers collected the general information by two questionnaires, checked the clearness of their conversational features by one on one interview, and compared their speech abilities among the implanted by video tapes. In general, both children and adults with cochlear implants demonstrated an improvement in their conversation ability. However, the implanted, e specially their parents, are not satisfied with the improvement of their communicative functions. This research indicated that related empirical studies and rehabilitation training programs set by the speech therapists and special education teachers can bring more benefits to both children and adults with cochlear implants and their parents.
