We got his ABR done after his tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy/laryngoscopy, etc. They cleaned the wax out of his ears also, examined them, and did not need to put in any tubes. The ABR shows much improvement in both ears--actually the worse ear improved a little more than the better, but around...

That is too cool!

Beach girl, that's awesome about your nephew! Andrew was tested on the ABR at 2.5 and 4 months corrected age (so 8 months chronological age for that last one). But maybe because he had such a bad time of it in the NICU (11 weeks on the vent, over 3 weeks on CPAP, then on oxygen for 5 more...

That's cool. Hearing aids are awesome! My husband needs some! But what amazes me with my son is that his loss is sensorineural, supposed to stay the same (probably 72 percent of preemies do) or get worse (28 percent, I saw in one study). They tested his ears at the time for fluid, etc. We were...

Forgot to say, Jazzberry, that I agree about the aids hurting his hearing if they are too powerful. We have limited their use these past couple of weeks for that reason. He had been taking them out more, but not in pain or showing any signs something is too loud. Our house is pretty quiet. But...

Thank you all. I can't wait to see what happens with the testing. Jazzberry, I tested him in the bathtub only in March, when he could hear my soft voice but no whispers. I've tested him about everywhere but in water with the whispers these past couple of weeks, the first time I'd tried...

In the weeks since I made my other post, our son Andrew, now 2, has begun to hear whispers, or, more likely, I've just recently realized my son could hear whispers without his hearing aids. Whispers, in a child with a diagnosed moderate to moderately severe sensorineural loss (50 to 55 dB across...

I suggest checking out the Baby Signing Time videos at signingtime.com for your son. I began them when my son was 5 months corrected age (he was a preemie). They are awesome. Andrew now has 10 of the Signing Time videos as well as the four Baby Signing Time ones. He's 2 now and begs to watch one...

So maybe somehow he is more in tune with his residual hearing? That could explain things, that it is appearing to progress then, overtime. His speech therapists were saying that since he was aided as a young infant, maybe more neurons were able to grow and improvement came from that, but I don't...

I don't know your son's exact age, but we began with the Baby Signing Time (all ASL signs) DVDs with our HOH son at 5 months corrected (He was a preemie). I limit his TV use, so he only watched at most twice a week for well over a year. However, he loved the DVDs. He loved the flashcards that...

Sorry for the long post, but I thought this would be a good board to ask this on. I know this sounds strange, and I have yet to find anything on the web to corroborate that it's even possible, that a permanent loss can get markedly better, but here's some background on my son: Andrew was born...

My son failed his original screening in his right ear only, twice, and then when we had the ABR done, it was found that both of his ears had loss. In his case, fluid leftover from the womb wasn't a factor, as he was born months before his screenings in the NICU. We were told the hospital...
