I am not involved with the above situation re: my sons, fortunately. I understand the criterion for baby's Implants/Hearing Aids is to allow them to learn to speak, In this section of Ontario it is carried at Hospital for Sick Children which does NOT use adult consideration. This is what I understand from Sunnybrook/Toronto- Cochlear section- where I am.
Perhaps other countries have different standards.
