Some former clients of the Let Them Hear Foundation Insurance Advocacy Program have posted video of their bilaterally implanted children's activation sessions and examples of their post-activation language abilities on YouTube.
YouTube - Elliot's bilateral CI activation, September 2006
Elliot got his second implant last year just after he turned 5. Currently, he has 96 % speech recognition scores, which frankly, are better than mine under best aided conditions so I am a little jealous !
YouTube - Oliver Cochlear Implant Activation 12/2006
Elliot's brother, Oliver, got both of his implants before age 1. Elliot's appeal resulted in a policy change for Blue Cross / Blue Shield of Georgia, so Oliver's case didn't require an appeal
YouTube - Kevin 6 month hearing update
Kevin got bilateral implants at 9 months of age. Six months post-activation he has significant open set language recognition as well as expressive language.
