Some hearing people do speak with a "lisp"...the word deaf and death....is hard for them to pronounce correctly. Hearing people also have speech impediments, as one of my sons did.

In what capacity have you worked with children with CI's? It seems highly unlikely a child would be implanted at "3 or 4 months" given that FDA reccomendations stand at 12 months, and regardless... The child would need to trial hearing aids for a reasonable period of time before they even start the process to see if they are a candidate.

I think there must have been some misunderstanding between you and the parents (?).
