Question for Parents of CI children

She did, but she had absolutely no benefit from them. Her hearing tests were exactly the same when she was tested both aided and unaided. To put it in perspective - an airplane could fly 3 ft over her head, and she wouldn't be able to hear a thing!

Even though it's been only a month, she's progressed so far! She's saying "up". She makes a few specific sounds for certain things. Like "mmmm" for milk. And she even mooed last week (my mom was reading her a book about cows). She's fallen in love with the tv now. And she's even started responding to her name - she never did that before even with signing.

Bingo.

Thanks and good luck!

As a mom for amost 30 yrs now (where did time go???) I can tell you that if you never question the decisions you've made you'd be kinda weird. :) Everyon 2nd guesses themselves whether it's about a CI or in the case of my youngest the best way to educate her. And I admit that we've taken a wrong turn or two so don't worry to much about your mistakes or possible mistakes, just remember to be flexible and listen to what your child may be telling you through his behavior. All communication isn't done with voice or sign, some is harder to figure out.
