I was planning on doing that for DS (4 yrs old). AB processors (1 harmony, 1 neptune). I wondered if that was an option. Glad to know that it is. He's use to having his hearing aids BTE so I wasn't sure he would adapt to the body worn device. Let me know if you find it bothersome to have 2...

For anyone who has an HEB near them, the energizer turn & lock 8 count is on clearance for $5.88 right next to it is a $4.00 coupon (good until Jan 24th) making it $1.88 for the 8 count pack (all sizes). I was able to get both. The EZ change did beep but the cashier adjusted it at 3 HEBs...

that's a bad thing? I was told by the professional that he needs access to sound and learns from other kids. The TC teacher showed me a bunch of studies that points back to how TC is really better. The speech pathologist gave a bunch of studies that shows how access to speech/oral is...

I'll do that. thanks

I tried the total communiction class but the teacher in that class seems to sign more than speak. most of the kids in that class sign as a main form of communication. I really want to give him as much access to speech as he can get right now. in the total communication class there are 6 kids...

moderate to profound, sloping sensorineural hearing loss in both ears. with the right ear profound in the 120 db and pround in the left ear in the 95db I did a little research and found so in the 1000 - 3000 hz he's not profound he's severe. Guess that's why he doesn't qualify. I did...

EVAS, EVA it's progressive hearing loss. it's fluctuating. he was born with normal hearing as he grows and bump his head or have "trauma" to the head it causes hearing loss.

congnitive he's either at or above 4 year level. expressive language he's at a 3 year old level. articulation he's at 2 year level. he can count and recognize his numbers up to 5. he knows 1/3 of his alphabet. he knows most of his shapes (not oval or rectangle). he is follow 2 step...

I am looking at CI. We went to get him tested to see if he qualify for it. We were told he does not. he has to lose more hearing in the lower frequency to qualify. which doesn't make sense to me because a lot of the english language uses the "t", "f" "s" (high frequecy sounds). those are a...

the AuD told me he has to get a 50% or lower to qualify. so according to her, he's doing "too good" to qualify. he just turned 4 (hearing age 1) so the ESP test is hard for him. These are new vocabulary words for him. at 3 years of age he only said 2 maybe 4 words. so he's come a long way...

only in his right ear and only in the 4000hz. he does have access to it from his left ear.

what I meant is, right now, the professionals (AuD and speech therapist) is telling me wait, give him time to adjust to his hearing aids. this is the normal process and that his articulation will get caught up. even though his hearing loss in the 4000hz is in the 120db unaided. aided he still...

yes...signing is part of what we work on at home. he has LVAS so I want to give him as much access to speech as he can get. In school he's in a DHH oral program.

just a quick update. the company my husband works for is self insured so they didn't have to follow the same guidelines so they didn't pay for any more than what was written. which was the $1k per ear every 36 months.

just wanted to update. it's now a little more than 1 year. he has about 300 expressive vocabulary. all very hard to understand. I think maybe my family, we're the only ones who really understands him. he's stringing 2-3 words from his expressive vocabulary together. he's still substituting...
