Question for 100% deaf adult users of cochlear implant - Page 2

Yeah, well I agree that the CI users should sign a contract to make therapy part of their routine if they have a good chance of hearing better. There are 2 women born deaf or since childhood, oral and they practiced daily and can hear without lipreading. One of them in quiet situations and books. She only checks the parts that she didn't get. The other can hear in her classes by herself. Amazing stuff, but the credit is the therapy they went through. I know one of them got better without therapy and began to hear without lipreading. Mind boggling, but it's sort of a wildcard whether or not you're gonna be the lucky ones that don't have to take therapy.
