Awww you are too sweet! I think that had I not had a grandfather who is severly HoH and taken ASL in high school from a Deaf teacher that I probably wouldn't have been as receptive. Thank you so much for all the resources! The geneticist thinks that while Sean will always be delayed, that it...

Even if there was a good private school out there that would be a perfect fit, there is no way I could afford it anyways. I'm sure there are some financial aid packages and such, but it seems like it would be out of my league anywas.

This is exactly what I am trying to explain to my family. My mom gets it, as does my grandma. The rest of the family, not so much. Very well said in my opinion. I think that the rest of my family is thinking that he will be "secluded from the real world" (their words not mine!) I think that the...

Here is what happened today at the ENT. Saw the resident first and then the actual ENT. He said that he has dealt with a case recently that was similar and the child loves her BAHA. (as if one case means everyone should respond the same way??) He ordered a hearing test and we got it done today...

Thank you so much for your kind words! I have decided that I will not be telling anyone in my family what my thoughts are at this point in time. I need to take the time for me to adjust and research as to what is best. If they care about me and Sean they will understand that I have to do what...

Well I wrote out a reply to you last night on my phone and it said it needed approval, apparently that never happened. :( He has a triplication in his first chromosome, the location is 1q23.1 to 1q23.3. He is the only one in the world so far to have a triplication in that region of the 1st...

I am also in northwest arkansas! It sure is a small world here! % would also love to know what the deaf communit is like around here, I've only been here for a year or so and my son is HoH and I am contemplating sending him to the arkansas school for the deaf in little rock

I am so glad for all of your responses! Seans chromosome abnormality is a triplication in his first chromosome. The location is 1q23.1 to 1q23.3. I wish I knew why the ENT doesnLT think asl would be beneficial. I have to wonder if perhaps he camme from a family or social setting where being...

I guess I didn't quite make myself clear last night, it was late lol. I don't feel speech is hopeless, he has been in speech therapy since he was around 6 months old and he is making progress, it is just at a delayed pace. My concern is that the only form of hearing aid that will work for him is...

I know that my son picks up the signs that I use with him very very quickly. He does see an audiologist, they are the ones who did his hearing test in September. He has developmental delays in all areas, speech/language, fine motor, gross motor and cognitive. Is there anything in particular...

My son has moderate to severe conductive hearing loss. His bone conduction appears fine, but testing him is difficult due to his developmental delays. The audiologist thinks they got a fairly accurate reading in Sept. The ENT thinks that my son is a good candidate for the BAHA. I don't know that...

I signed up for this site awhile ago but never got around to posting. Guess I am a chronic lurker. A lil about me, I am a single mom to a handsome almost 5 year old (birthday on friday!). I am hearing and my son is hard of hearing. He has a moderate to severe conductive hearing loss. He also...
