Methods: This research was done on 34 children that had cochlear implants and their parents. Parents of participants answered the PedsQL questionnaire before and 6 months after full mapping of the CI device. Results: There was a highly statistically significant difference between the pre-operative and post-operative CI physical and psycho-social scores. Conclusion: The children showed better psychological life, social communication and physical activities after the CI use. So, this questionnaire should be used in CI centers to give important feedbacks.
