Not to be argumentive but if she can hear anything at 12 mo then she is going to decipher those sounds not unlike any other child at 12 mo who really can not talk or understand everything they hear. They may sound different than a born hearing but it will be all she knows and won't realize the difference. I am not anti CI nor am I totally for it. I think there are times when it is needed and other times when it is beneficial but people should feel free to make their own decisions and not get harrassed for it. It is not like they are adding something to the body that the body is not designed for. We live in a hearing world. When they start adding a third arm to kids to make them more efficient then you can complain. Just because you choose not to does not mean others should also choose this.
