Weaknesses• So much missing data

• Children ‘dropped out’ and ‘dropped in’

• Performance testing limited on simultaneous group due to young age

• Performance testing skewed by results only being obtained if child could do the test

• 3 year interval only introduced in final year, so limited data

• Longitudinal study in children – children get older each year!

Strengths• This is the population not a sample!

• Unique and real picture of what children with bilateral CI can do

• Cases not biased

• Great example of collaborative work throughout UK
