<p>Memory is related to a person’s capacity to store and recall information. Working memory is considered to be of utmost importance as it plays a major role in the execution of numerous cognitive activities. Therefore, we measured and compared the working memory abilities of children with normal hearing and cochlear implants. A total of 30 participants age range–4–10 years were considered for the study to measure auditory working memory abilities. The participants were assigned to two groups: Group I comprised 15 participants in the control group, and Group II comprised 15 participants in the experimental group. The study was conducted by using three measures to evaluate the auditory working memory and consisted of the following: forward digit span, backward digit span, and the Common Object Token Test. The results of the study showed that the working memory abilities measured using the Digit Span and Common Object Token tests were better in children with normal hearing than in children with cochlear implants. Working memory abilities were found to increase with a decrease in the age of implantation. Working memory is essential for the development of speech and language skills and for scholastic performance. It is included in the auditory habilitation program to monitor the progress of children with cochlear implants.</p>
