Hi guys, it's been a couple of months since I posted here. We discovered our little girl, Zoe, was Deaf when she was 13 months old. She was implanted towards the end of Feb and activated on the right side the 8th of March and the left on the 28th of March. We are continuing to sign with her...

My little Zoe's first response to having her CI activated! She got implanted bilaterally, but they old turned on her right ear yesterday and will not be getting the left done until the 28th. We are so thrilled! *And are still using sign, no worries!* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw3nvR2-rEk

I was called last night by Zoe's choclear implant team, they had a cancellation and a date open up the 21st of this month. That would be great (although I feel a little sick thinking about it) except that they said our insurance hasn't approved her yet. Well I called our private insurance...

I'm just so excited and had to share! Zoe has been lagging behind on her HA testing required to finish her cochlear implant evaluation. The past 2 appointments she completely bombed, 1 due to too much fluid in her ears from an infection and the other due to having a substitute audiologist who...

This might be an odd question, I don't know.. but my daughter (16 months old) just recently got her first pair of loner aids (as you might have seen ^_^) and it is a fight every time I try to put them in. I know part (and maybe most?) of the struggle is because she HATES being held still. But I...

Think Pokemon, but instead of saying your name, you can only repeat ANY 1 sign or word for the rest of forever. What would yours be? As a mother of 2 very young children, my sign would probably be 'knock it off' :hmm: If all Zoe could ever sign or say in her life was 1 word it would most...

Hi everyone! I have a pretty simple question for anyone who has any thoughts on it. Up until recently I have been told given Zoe's audiogram that she will most likely need 2 CIs. I have been planning on 2 CIs. I have read that 2 CIs are better than 1. Now with her Phonak Naidas in they say we...

Hi there! We finally got my daughter's (she's 16mths) first pair of hearing aids today! These are Phonak Naidas, turned to the highest volume (loners) :) She seems to really like them, in fact, she had her MRI today also and when she woke up she was poking at her ears to see if they were there.

Any ideas or suggestions on how to keep hearing aids on a 1 year old? She's 16 months old with severe to profound hearing loss, with the greater hearing loss in high frequencies. They are giving her the strongest hearing aids on the market they said (can't remember the brand?) on Thursday, but...

Not trying to start brand war by any means! I am simply trying to gather more and more information in order to choose which CI to get my 16 month old daughter after she finishes the evaluation. She's only just getting fitted for her HAs but her audiogram showed no hearing at 128db, so we're...

Hi everyone, my name is Ashley, I'm in my early 20's, I have 2 little girls that are 2 1/2 and 1 yr. They were both premature, with speech delays, but we've just recently realized that our 1yr old's delays are due to her hearing loss. Not really sure what I'm doing, still waiting to go to my...
