The purpose of this study is to see if remote visits for pediatric cochlear implant patients are possible. The investigator will be assessing whether a multi-disciplinary team approach can be achieved remotely for patients both undergoing the cochlear implant (CI) process and for those who have already been implanted.

| Datalogging | Datalogging, reported in hours per week, will be extracted from the cochlear implant software | Up to 1 year |
| Threshold/Upper stimulation levels | As measured from the cochlear implant software | Up to 1 year |
| LittleEars questionnaire scores | The LittleEars auditory questionnaire (LEAQ) uses parent responses to assess auditory behavior in children up to 24 months of age. The questionnaire is scored from 0 to 35 with 0 indicating poorer performance and 35 indicating better performance. | Up to 1 year |
| Auditory Skills Checklist (ASC) scores | ASC has a Total Score ranges from zero to 70, with higher scores indicating development of increasingly complex listening skills | Up to 1 year |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Behavior Assessment System for Children version 3 (BASC-3) scores | BASC-3 is scored 0-120 as a T score. Any scores between 60-70 is considered at risk / requires monitoring and scores greater than 70 are considered clinically significant / an area that likely requires therapeutic intervention. | Up to 1 year |

| Patient Health Questionnaire version 8 (PHQ-8) scores |
PHQ-8 has 8 items rated on a scale from "not at all" (0) to "nearly every day" (3), with higher scores indicating greater frequency of depressive symptoms. The sum of the items indicates the overall level of depressive symptoms indicating mild (5-9), moderate (10-14), moderately severe (15-19), and severe depressive symptoms (20- 24). |
| Up to 1 year |
| Generalized Anxiety Disorder version 7 (GAD-7) scores | GAD-7 is a 7-item self-report questionnaire of anxiety symptomatology in the past 14 days. Respondents rate the frequency of each item during the past two weeks on a 0-3-point scale ranging from not at all (0) to nearly every day (3). The sum of the items indicates the overall level of anxiety symptoms indicating mild (0-4), moderate (5-9), moderately severe (10-14), and severe (15- 21). | Up to 1 year |
| Quality of Life- CI (QoL-CI) scores | QoL-CI is scored 0-100 with higher scores indicating better quality of life. | Up to 1 year |
| Cochlear Implant Quality of Life-35 Profile (CIQOL-35 Profile) scores | CIQOL-35 Profile is a 35 item questionnaire with a total score ranging from 0-100% with a higher score indicating a higher level of functional ability with a cochlear implant | Up to 1 year |
| Parenting Stress Index/Short Form (PSI) scores | Parenting Stress Index/Short Form (PSI) contains 36 items rated on a 6-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly Disagree to 5 = Strongly Agree) and a total score. Higher scores indicate increased parenting stress. | Up to 1 year |
| Parenting Stress-CI scores | Parenting Stress-CI is completed by the parent and scored from "not at all stressful" (0) to "very stressful" (3) with higher scores indicating greater degrees of parenting stress. For parents of children 0-5 years, there are 15 items. For parents of children 6-12 years there are 8 items. | Up to 1 year |
| Scale of Parental Involvement and Self-Efficacy-Revised (SPISE-R) scores | The SPISE-R is comprised of 46 questions that uses a 7-point Likert scale to query parents' beliefs, knowledge, confidence, and actions relevant to supporting their child's auditory access and spoken language development. The total average score will range from 1 to 7 with 7 indicating the highest score / highest level of parental involvement and self efficacy. | Up to 1 year |
