So, my three year old has an appointment for Thursday with the ENT/Audiologist to discuss her hearing results and fit her for hearing aids. I guess they will be making the molds at this appointment and then we will have another one once they are made to make sure they fit and work and everything, right?
Having never done anything like this before, I was wondering if anyone had any tips or ideas for how to keep her calm during the "molding" process (not sure what it's called but I guess they put some kind of "goo" in her ears?). She is general a little slow to warm up to doctors (not sure why, always been the more shy of my two kids and maybe that's part of it- not as comfortable with unknown). And I have no clue what it would be like to have that stuff put in your ears so don't know how that might feel to her. I know there are parents on here who have kids with HA's- what has that experience been like with your kids? Any good distraction techniques that you use? in advance!
