* jess * re: cochlear implants
I saw in the post below that you were thinking about cochlear implants for Ruby and thought I would share this:

I heard it in one of my language classes and thought it was really interesting, because I didn't know much about cochlear impants and how they work.
good luck making your decision and getting insurance to cover it if you decide to go that route. Ruby is lucky to have such a great support system behind her, and I am sure she will thrive no matter what you decide to do 
Re: * jess * re: cochlear implants
Thanks for that.
Actually, we've been doing tons of research because we don't know what the "right" answer is. And, until we know more about what exactly is going on with her right ear, we won't make any sort of decisions. Right now, we're just signing as much as possible and working with that until we know more.
It is amazing, though, how many people just think cochlear implants are "magic ears" and that once they have them, they'll be "normal." They don't work for everyone, don't work the same for each person and they don't make things sound the same as they would to someone with functioning ears.
