We just took our 2 kids to a signing santa last weekend! So much fun. This weekend we are headed to another one in a different town. They are great events my son who is almost 9 months loved santa more than I thought.

No we use rayovac....I get them from the audiologist. The left ear will last over a week when she is not using her FM. But when she goes to school the left one dies at 3-4 days top then time for a new battery. It is frustrating. Phonak said that is normal cause her one aid is powerful it needs...

my daughter goes through 4 batteries a week! she uses her fm at school only too. she has phonak naidas her left ear is worse so that goes dead first more powerful aid

every battery I use are brand new straight from my audiologist. I have checked the experation date before. The DHH teacher and school audiologist check her fm and aids 2 times a week. She doesnt switch aids ever she wears her same aids all the time but any fixing or repairs to her...

This is what I mean.....misdiagnosed. This is why newborn hearing screens are done.

most parents that have deaf children are hearing themselves. So if the Newborn hearing screening was not there parents could go years not knowing why there child isnt speaking or developing listening skills. I have heard many stories of children being misdiagnosed when all it was is deafness...

My daughter has a moderate/severeprofound loss and greatly benefits from aids. Did he not pass new born screening at birth? Usually they give the test before they leave. That is how we found out our daughter had a hearing loss. You can call a pediatric audiologist and make an appt. for an ABR...

thanks for doing this for me Karissa :ty:

my 2 children are deaf due to connexin 26 (GJB2) gene....my husband and I both carry the gene we are only carriers so we are hearing. But when we have children we have 25% that they will be deaf/hoh. It is a 1 in 200 chance that their children will be deaf/hoh only if their spouse carries the...

I am just flat out giving up on this thread and will never post another one. This is ridiculous that I have to babysit this thread to make sure who is born with this severity of loss and who is not. So continue to argue ........I had a not so welcoming experience and a hurtful message thrown on...
