Cochlear Implants before 12 months? Here's a new study showing benefits.

I have long believed that implanting kids before 12 months of age was an important and necessary approach for optimizing long-term speech outcomes.  Lily was implanted 7.8 years ago at the age of 10 months.  We would have done it earlier if the surgeon would have agreed.  

Eight years later, the age of 12 month is still used as a guideline for implantation.
