do people who get a hearing implant understand the words said?

Hi!
So you have a ‘lot’ of videos where people hear the voice of their parents or anyone else for the first time.
Presumably they were born deaf. What’s the process of actually understanding what is being said like?

Cochlear implants have varying rates of success. And even the most successful patients can hear like a hearing person. So if they are a child who was born Deaf they have big hurtles to deciphering speech. Speech therapy is the go to answer for these folks. if you are older and receive a cochlear implant, you are already used to what sounds like interpreting them is much easier.
