It does seem like the difficulty, then, must be with the comprehension of spoken language, then, not strictly the speaking of it. I had wondered about this for awhile, how when you see adults have their cochlear implants turned on for the first time, sometimes they respond as though they do understand what people are saying to them. I had wondered how they could possibly know how to interpret the sounds as specific words, even if they knew the words, but this makes it seem like that's not what's happening. They're probably still reading lips to understand the words themselves.
