Well there you have it. The reason she's done very well hearing with the CI is b/c she had a relatively late onset loss. If she had been born with the loss, you might have seen different results. I know you're concerned about her speech issues...........but it's possible she may have oral apraxia of speech.
rockinrobin,
have you tried an Eye and Ear hoispital? You may need a specialized specialist.
Lucia, thank you. I do agree somewhat with deafdude that the marketing of CIs is a little too akin to the relationship some docs have with Big Pharma....however I also think that it's not a HUGE widespread thing. I think if hearing aids were covered by insurance there wouldn't be all this huge marketing to "ambigious" canidates, or "off label" use.
