Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Hi there Well, the big news around here is we are trying to adopt a little girl. We are considering a little girl with Cerebral Palsy , who is also deaf. We just found out she got a cochlear implant in the last couple months. She is making much improvement since getting it. Now I got to attend the seminar on implants at the Mito conference and I remember how they work and where they are placed and what they look like, but I don't recall how much hearing they restore. If they ever have to be replaced? Could a previously deaf child speak normally after getting an implant? Would she still benefit from an Oral school, signing and learning to lip-read? thanks a ton deb...mom to three great adopted kids...
