What do you mean?


I actually have a post in the 'General' board but I actually just found out that my birth father is HOH, one of my birth mothers siblings is Deaf, as is her mother and several of her mothers siblings. With that information I am definatly discontinuing the testing. With that people in my birth family being HOH or Deaf, it is almost surely genetic. I am not going to waste any more of my life doing this testing. I am 18 and need to just get on with my life.

As far as the concern of further loss, yes it is an option for sure. I have been about the same for close to two weeks now, which is the longest I have plateauxed in my hearing for almost 6 months. We are hoping it stops here, if it doesn't...well that's just whats going to happen. No one can say whether or not it will. I am willing to work with what I have for now and if it means 2-3 more months of environmental sounds that is fine with me and worth the investment.

The test was an ABR. I am not going to do it.
