The authors identify the contribution of speech therapy in the rehabilitation process after cochlear implant surgery in a prelingual child. The data was collected and analysed during moments of conversation, stimulation and housing, proposed during speech therapy sessions. Based on the analyses, we concluded the importance of speech therapy sessions, which stimulate auditory skills as well as the acquisition and development of oral language, taking into account the subject, their subjectivity and the context to which they belong. Emphasising the importance of giving the subject a role within the interaction, so that they can interact and be understood, encouraging them to want to actively participate in this process, because performing cochlear implant surgery and not stimulating does not bring satisfactory results for subjects with profound prelingual hearing loss. At first, the subject didn’t know what it was like to hear, and auditory skills had to be worked on in order to develop hearing and give meaning to this sound stimulus, and then to understand the sound and the production of the phonemes that make up their language.
