Going to be switching Tyler's aids from Naida's to Safari's... not happy with the Naida's. Has anyone tried the Oticon Amigo FM's??? Are they comparable to Phonak SmartLink+??? Not sure I want to return the SmartLink+... hmmmm...

As a mother to a severely hoh child, I am appalled at the way people bicker on here! I came to this site for support, for people who understand and can relate. Instead... I am constantly reading threads bombarded by people going back and forth arguging about pure nonsense. Not to...

So, we got Tyler his new Naida UP hearing aid yesterday - long story short, we got the actual UP's a couple weeks ago but there was something wrong with his right one... so we sent it away to get fixed. Well it came in and we picked it up yesterday. We also had a new ear impression mold done...

Tyler had an appointment this morning with his audi to check his new hearing aids. We got new aids (Naida Super Powered) about 3-4 weeks ago. The super powered was recommended from another audi (long story). So the new audi today told me that due to Tyler's severe loss in his right ear...

Can anyone provide me with info on "apraxia" and even better "hoh and apraxia"? I am exploring this as a "possible" for Tyler. He currently has an OT & SLP working with him. Other than the severe speech delay - we have also noticed a delay in his gross/fine motor skills (drinking from...

Anyone know where I can purchase Signing Time videos for not too much $$$? I'm thinking about checking out our local library and renting a couple. Tyler is addicted to Signing Time... :giggle:

Okay... I know this should belong in the ASL forum but I'm at work right now and I can't seem to get into that forum it's blocked. I will have to check at home. But for the time being I was hoping it would be okay to post here. I had a couple ASL questions... * Firstly I've read there...

Okay... I want to start out by stating I don't want any negative comments. We went to Sick Kids yesterday and we met with the SLP & Social Worker. Unfortunately, Tyler was his usual "out in public/professional" self. He acted like a complete monkey and didn't really show his...

So, we're ordering Tyler a new set of ha's and FM system in 2 weeks. I'm getting him a set of junior Naida's V. But wondering what kind of FM system... any suggestions... Phonak of course. I want something fairly easy to use... but also that will last him awhile as they are...

I may be jumping ahead of myself but just curious... If Tyler is a candidate for CI - but they only do his right ear (his right ear is severe, but his left ear is moderate-severe)... what is it like to have 1 cochlear and 1 hearing aid? To me, I would think it would sound very strange...

Our son has an appointment in 2 weeks in the cochlear unit. Our appointment consists of SLP and Social Work. We are still awaiting an appointment for audiology... they will be getting back to us shortly. I don't know if he'll be a candidate but I want to revisit it. He also has an...

So, as Tyler is VERY visual and we're trying to teach him new signs everyday... I was looking for somewhere to buy some big boards to hang on our walls. I can't seem to find any... but I did find a pack of ASL flash cards for kids. I'm thinking about hanging some of these up around the...

So, big suprise... autism has been mentioned for Tyler. Even though I knew that was what they were thinking... it's still devistating for me! I don't believe he is autistic... but they have ruined my spirits. :( Anyone here have experience with a deaf autistic child? And if so, what are...

I just wanted to send out a Thank You to everyone here at AllDeaf.com. I haven't been here long... but I have learned a lot in the short time and have made some good contacts already! I appreciate all your help and suggestions in helping my son! I look forward to posting more... and...

So... where to start... Tyler had an evaluation this morning with an awesome AVT. She has major concerns about his lack of speech (obviously) and wants to help. The problem is she is private (no IHP) so we will have to figure how to afford her ??? Secondly, I contacted the manager of IHP...

I've had a few posts asking about Tyler's audiograms... so I thought I would post. Tyler's loss slopes a bit - more slope in his left than his right... left ear (between 60-80dBHL): 500hz 60dBHL 1000hz 65dBHL 2000hz 70dBHL 4000hz 80dBHL right ear (between 75-85dBHL): 500hz...

Not sure if this is the right place or not... and if not, please feel free to move. I can only see selected forums here at work. When Tyler got diagnosed at 12 weeks old, the audiologist told my husband and I to keep the lines of communication open. She said that divorce rates amongst...

As previously discussed in many of my other threads. Even though Tyler "should" hearing with his hearing aids on - this may not be the case. Why not? Also... the whole clarity issue when amplifying. My inlaws have SERIOUS issues with Tyler and his hearing loss and I was hoping to...

I am sure this has been discussed before... but as I said before I am very new. If you had a child that had a moderate/severe hearing loss - 3 years old and still non-verbal, although starting to show a real interest in signs. So, we are learning more everyday and constanting doing SEE with...

Just curious, has anyone ever seen any wall boards/plaques with ASL? I've seen lots of flash cards and such but I was looking for wall boards - I want to put them around the house to help all of us. Any suggestions or places?
