Has anybody tried their HA in their implant ear?

If you can produce the same sound with comprehension or not you still heard.

Hearing the sounds with the different electronic of the CI should not make her comprehend more if she could already reproduce it.

Exactly Bott.
 
Yes you have to be able to understand and hear whats being said before you can actually point to

That's not what you said in an earlier post. You were also denied by one CI surgeon (according to your blog), so you took her to see another. Hence, the fact that she did have a decent amount of residual hearing pre-CI.

We were told by one AUDI, not surgeon, that she will not implant a child that she doesn't believe will become 100% oral, and that we have shown that Miss Kat won't (by using ASL).

I have shared exactly what her hearing was pre-CI.

How could she point to the correct picture if she couldn't understand what she heard?

I have gone over this again and again.

When given 4 words to chose from, she could tell the difference between BABY and TOOTHBRUSH 80% of the time.

Same difference.

Aren't you putting Miss Kat in an oral-only environment?
 
She would need to understand them then

And like I've said before, that's still hearing. Being able to differentiate between the words baby and toothbrush is hearing whether pictures are used as a supplement or not.

Noooo! If a heard two distinctly different German words, I could tell them apart, I could not understand them. If I was told to point to the red dot when I heard "Zahnbürste" and the green dot when I heard "Fenster", I could do it, it doesn't mean that I understand those words.
 
By the way, single words (with or without pictures) are more difficult to understand than sentences since context can't be used.

What you are failing to acknowledge is that Miss Kat repeated them back accurately. How else could she point to the correct picture if she couldn't hear?

SHE DID NOT REPEAT BACK ANY WORDS.

How much clearer do I need to be???

If that's true, what is 80% in reference to? Did Miss Kat get 80% of words wrong? I don't think so. Therefore, the only conclusion one can make is that she heard and understood 80% -- not 0%.

faire_jour can answer as many times as she wants, but it doesn't change the fact that Miss Kat can hear.

Yes, she can. I said that pre-CI she had speech awareness, but not speech conprehension. I am trying to be as clear as possible, but seems like others have already made up their minds.
