The point is before my CIs I would not have heard her because she is in a different part of the house.

It is worth it to be able to hear my 9 year old yell for me. That is the only CI moment that matters. I was there to help her.
Wow. Glad she was okay! I think it also makes them feel reassured knowing that if they call out for help that you can hear and come running.
