Hmmmm, lessee, never heard before in 29 years....yet has perfectly intelligible speech production ("It's beeping" she clearly says)....can understand the tester when she speaks to her without using any lipreading cues at all.....yet has never heard at all, never any auditory speech or language input, but still has managed to develop normal voice quality and speech production, and speech understanding skills after just one second listening through this hearing device.....??
