Has anybody tried their HA in their implant ear?

faire_jour,

I think what you mean is suprasegmental pattern differences -- not super segmental pattern differences. (i.e. phonological differences).

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.

And you would have to be able to discriminate between the two to do it. That is called speech comprehension.

And, if you were told to point to a toothbrush when you heard the word toothbrush, and a baby when you heard the word baby, you not only would have to discriminate the difference between the two, but have comprehension of what the word represented.
 
Yes thats what iv been trying to explain

SHE DID NOT REPEAT BACK ANY WORDS.

How much clearer do I need to be???

Just because she did not repeat them back does not mean that she did not hear them. It just meant she could not articulate what she heard. You are confusing receptive understanding with the ability to produce speech, and they are two very different mechanisms.

Exactly.

This is what Deafteen and I were trying to tell faire_jour.

You just accused me of abusing my child by putting her through unnessassary medical procedures for my own attention. That is UNACCEPTABLE! Who do you think you are? How dare you?!!

I am the same woman who remembers you trying to win an argument by telling all about how you were out picking the casket and planning the funeral for her when she was a baby.

That is someone who wants weird attention for herself.

I dare because you tell us things that cause a lot of shock.

She pointed to the right picture. She didn't repeat anything. Just like I could in any language. It is hearing but not understanding,

No. If she pointed to the correct picture 80% of the time, she understood what was said, and what she heard 80% of the time. She simply was not able to articulate it 80% of the time.
 
faire_jour said:
She now hears with better clarity and is able to hear all the sounds instead of just the vowels. Now she is able to learn the words, since she has access to the sounds.

Actually, you are just hoping that she will be able to repeat the words now that she has a CI. She heard them and understood them 80% of the time pre-CI.

It is sick that my child was very very ill at birth? That is sad, not sick. She did come very close to death. She had to have a procedure called ECMO, it saved her life.

I almost died twice at birth yet you don't hear me talking about it on AD. (with the exception of the Hospital thread in which I was exchanging posts with another ADer)

My parents also refused to believe that I would die. They had faith that I would live.
 
I was close to death too but my parents didnt go out and look for a coffin and try to organise a funeral

We had to transport her from Texas to Utah. They told us to begin to make arrangements, they they would be turning off the life support in 48 hours.
