I am so glad to hear things went well. I can imagine how excited and nervous you must be for the coming months. That is great he is feeling so good. I will be in your shoes one day going through this with my daughter too. I am already nervous and excited and we've only had one appointment...

Oh wow, that did go fast. We all can't wait to hear all about it. Good luck!

That is great to hear. It's good you are able to get involved with the class. I hope she continues to do well, and I am sure her speech with improve. I love hearing about how well the kids with CI's are doing, so keep us posted on her progress.

Maybe they will just let you decide on the ear. I think if I had to make a decision today I would choose the Freedom too. The audiologists said which ever one you choose, you really can't make a wrong decision.

I can't believe how fast this is happening for you, that is great news! Can you hear better in one of your ears? Are they still telling people to implant the worse ear? I am curious which ear the doctors will want to implant on my daughter. Her right ear was able to hear sounds around 95 dbs...

Yes, she failed the newborn screening test at the hospital. Then they had us come back for an ABR at 6 weeks, then another at 8 and 9 weeks. So basically we knew for sure about her hearing loss at 9 weeks. The implant center definetly was not pushy at all. They were just trying to inform me...

Ok, thanks. I didn't even know how long they were, I never had one. What you said makes sense, they will probably just give her something light.

Thanks! Today was her first appointment at the cochlear implant center. I only met with 2 audioligists so far. They basically just talked to us about the implant and what it does, which we already knew. We talked a little about the surgery, and they did a hearing test. Since Victoria is...

Thanks Greema!!! Lucia - I am very happy things are going so well for you.

Try CDW.com Homepage I order from them at work, and they have everything. I just checked and they do sell it. It should be what you are looking for.

I agree with you. I don't think this is the cause... but it is an interesting story. You really never know what the cause is. And why are boys more affected than girls? My friend's son has autism and we have this discussion all the time. Maybe all the artifical sweeteners and preservatives we...

I don't want to take anything away from Lucia's thread, so I will just say this for now. Thanks for your concern... but my daughter already attends a school for the deaf. She has been wearing hearing aids for 3 months with little to no benefit. We have done our research, and whatever decision we...

He is still young, he will get the speech language part fast. It's amazing how fast kids learn things. All kids have selective hearing... it's amazing how they can't hear you when they are getting yelled at, but whisper "want a snack", they come running. Marshall is adorable!!

Sorry to hear it didn't go so well today. Next week will be better for you! My daughter has her first appointment next week. I guess she will have hearing tests like you (except that she is just 7 months old). My process will be different, plus we have lots of time if we decide to implant...

Wow, he is doing great! I love reading about all the progress you and others are having with the CI's. He must be so excited to hear all the new sounds.

That is so great!!! Sorry for responding late, just got back from vacation. I am sure one day he will do that for you! And you never know, maybe one day down the line you may make the decision to get one yourself and you won't need an interpreter. I am so glad things are going well. I...

Good luck with your surgery!! I look forward to hearing all about it.

I feel bad actually saying this, but I am not sure what they have done in the recent month at that site. It's hard to keep up with it. I live about 25 miles from NYC but I have not visited Ground Zero yet. I find it too hard to go there. Maybe when the new tower is completed, I will go...

Lillys Dad and Cloggy - Thanks for the details of the surgery. It is great to hear about other people's experiences. I know everyone reacts differently, but it helps to see how other children recovered. Seems like your girls did great after surgery. Greema - it really is nice to not see...

Thank you so much! And you are so right, I am just in the beginning stages of learning. I am sure time will fly by, but I still have time to research everything!!
