Wanting to try again with HA's for our 3yo Sadie,,,,,anyone know the best one to attempt with the Reverse Splope Hearing Loss ( low frequency ) ??? Her loss is of Severe /Profound magnitude starting at 8000hz and dropping to 100 d any suggestions????

Apparently I owe an apology to everyone whos nerve this post has hit.......out of total frustration of having to beg, becoming the bitch is literally the only option. Frustration of having to explain to a 15yo why her grandparents aren't intersted in learning ASL for her sake, and now her...

I NEVER SAID they were not allowed to see their grandchildren, that was misunderstood, what I did say is they were not to walk through the door of my home again............my husband visits them regulary with the girls, that isn't the issue. Its the language barriar between them, NOT THE LOVE...

WOW! completely different state of mind and priorities right there! that was uncalled for!

I forgot to mention the fact that before we bought our single family, we owned a 3 family in which they rented the floor above so they basically lived with us for 8 years, and still never learned the language for our oldest!

OK so my daughters and their language are my top priority in any situation exspecially when it comes to family. So why isn't it the same for the family that my daughters absolutely adore? My mother is an amazing individual with an amazing heart for me, me husband and our children - has...

My oldest daughers Audi. (Marilyn Neault) is actually jumping in to figure this out , we have worked with her for 13 years now and have the upmost respect in her abilities. She is actually going to test for "Cochlear Dead Zones" due to sadie getting no useful benefit from herAids. During our...

And BabyBlue, I would not suggest the Reverse Slope Hearing Loss Forum w/in Facebook. I just had Dan Schwartz tell me how bad of a mother I am for allowing my 3 year to live her life as a Deaf individual and that I was doing both my children a disservice by listening to the ASLDeafies as he...

Hey DeafDyke, her Audis are actually w/in ChildrensBoston. Had our appt. today and the "good" ear has actually fallen 20db to the Severe range right along with the left ear . Unfortunately our HA's are only loaners and don't have a volume setting, so again the noise level and its discomfort...

Offered the HA's to her again this morning......and the sounds she was hearing were amplified to the point thast she ripped them from her ears! ( the sound of the TV - vaccuum - even Daddys voice she couldn't handle with HA's on) We've been renting the HA's for 6 months now, and she has maybe...

My question was "Are the Hearing Aids Beneficial and are they enjoyable?" ANd thanks for the luck

RSLH ( Reverse Slope Hearing Loss) has become the biggest pain in the ass for me, NO info to be found. I have only one question for people with this loss - Are hearing aids beneficial and are they enjoyable? With Sadies Severe/Profound Loss I have no expectation of her getting any enjoyable...

So after weeks of tears and frustration, the school system in our town agreed The Learning Center is the best placement for Sadie Marie. Shaking out of excitement and relief over such a battle that didn't need to be, but I now have the knowledge that my 2nd daughter will be in the best...

Sorry for not getting back in regards to the meeting. They are still pushing for CAPS program and I'll be damned if that actually happens. Funny thing is they questioned if I would atleast go look at the program , I said "Sure - but I would also like you to go look at TLC's program as well?!"...

As I explain to anyone or everyone, professionals , peers outside of school, people we meet on the street who are enthralled watching the hands flying as we are in mid conversation. The only difference between my children and yours is that they speak a different language - just as 50- 75% of...

KTMartell, I just have to ask.......if there is that chance of having a child that may be Deaf would you reconsider having children??? I have to say, while pregnant with my 2nd daughter, I too was hoping that she would be Deaf just as her sister ( Yes WhatDidUSay I just spoke those words )...

Jillio, my daughter is an 8th grader - 14 years old. Has had her CI for 10 years - accomodations aren't neccassary, she is to bring the CI to what ever degree she may want - the ball belongs to her! :)

Just had to say, with my daughter having a CI, she gets more "special" treatment with the lighting w/in hers classrooms due to migraines that she does for her CI. We've never requested special systems or classrooms - she receives Speech2x a week for only 30 minutes per session. If there is any...

The replies have been dead on - thank you. tomorrow we have our in home meeting which will be attended by the town Spec. Ed. liason, the Early Intervetion program ( new woman who I have never met) MasS. Commission for the Deaf and TLC, I was also able to get a letter of reference from Childrens...

I won't consider anything but TLC for Sadie, not gonna allow them the opportunity of giving her a 2nd class education for the sake of their budget exspecially considering how well Taylor does at TLC. With her loss, we found out throught the ABR , it is a Severe (right)/ Profound (left) hearing...
