First: This is not a pro CI thread (Just an observation). Me and my wife were browsing in a toy store, when I happened to notice a six year old with a CI conversing with her mother about a toy she wanted. I did not approach them (Just observed). I know that results vary from child to child but the little lady seemed to have good understanding and clear speech for her age. I did not intrude or wish to embarrass them. Just watched their interaction.
