I don't even know where to go to fight for this. Have an appointment with the private AuD and see if she recommends having 2 and get her to write in her recommendation. The school AuD tells me all the students in this school wears just 1 FM rather they have unilateral or bilateral hearing...

Is there any reason why the school would only provide 1 FM boot for my son when he has bilateral hearing loss and was ARD for an FM system? Just wonder if there's a reason why they're doing this and if I should fight to get him the other? Thanks

so he was doing it right LOL!! thanks everyone :)

Before my son was dx with hearing loss, when I hear the word "deaf" I think you can't hear ANYTHING. That isn't the case. I've always said my mom has "hearing loss" due to her age. I never say she's "deaf" because to me she can hear. So I guess when someone tells me they're "deaf" and they...

What a great idea!! I never even thought of doing that. I'll do that this weekend.

I guess I'm new to all of this and don't really know what is "normal". BTW, can you hear feedback or is only the people around you that hears it? I was telling her how terrible I feel everytime I go to give him a hug or kiss and his hearing aids makes that noise. I have a girlfriend with...

So I went in today to get the feedback issue resolved. She told me the button for feedback reduction was somehow not activated? So I asked shouldn't that be automatic? Who wants feedback? She went on to a different subject. But maybe I'm not understanding all of this since I"m new to...

as in rocking a baby or rockabye baby? My son has been asking to be rocked. He does the baby sign for it. :giggle: So I was wondering what is the actual sign for it? I looked it up but it seems like the only sign I found was "rock" as in stone. Thanks

Thanks everyone. I don't think I'm in a panic mode (at least I dont' think so). I do know it takes time for speech. I was just wondering why he did that. Funny how I never even noticed if my other kids did that. Just like I never counted how many words my other kids knew. Ask me now how...

These are new ear molds...just got them a few days ago. his hearing loss is pretty bad. So there are no vents at all in his. When I told her about it. She first said "I don't hear it". I walked out of the office thinking, well maybe it's me, I put them on wrong. Because she told me the helix...

no...these are new ear molds. It takes 2 weeks to make/mail (she got them to mail it directly to me). We got them 3 days ago. They squeak from day 1.

Have anyone heard of that? My son got his hearing aids turned up 10db maybe 3 weeks ago. I've been having problems with his hearing aids before because the ear mold cracked. She replaced it. Today I went in to see her, to get the attachment for the FM system (she ordered or Phonak sent...

thanks RoseRodent for the write up. good info. I also wonder if I would need an icom for the computer and tv if I went with the Inspiro and if you have any suggestion for that? Sarfarigirl2011, the beep sound, is it loud it enough for me or is it just in your ear so you'd know. My son is...

anyone have had both and can give me some pros/cons for these? I'm looking at getting an FM system for the house. I was going to get the smartlink+ for my 3 year old son. But heard the inspiro gives better sound quality. Anyone have had experience with both of these? Thanks

I think all kids do that. I'm hearing. My 8 year old son is hearing. He does this all of the time (I think he secretly thinks it's funny). I tap him/poke him/yank on his shirt/etc.. back and say his name for every "mommy".

Yes. the little that I know. Am learning. Taking class 1x a week for the past 6 weeks. Each week I'm learning about 25 new signs. so I know about 150+ signs. With finger spell and numbers a little more than 200. I'm learning more each week.

Yes!! I would love to read the study. Thanks you!! BTW...this week my added 10 words to his vocabulary without cue. So 50+ words in 6 months. catching up slowly but surely :) He said "what's that?"

last year, before my son started school. when I went to my son's ARD/IEP the school he was suppose to go to were all present (mainstream teacher, RDSPD teacher, principal, my ECI rep, speech pathologist who tested my son), along with 1 teacher from the school I wanted him to attend. At that...

is there a study that you're getting this information from or is this from experience. I would love to read more about this if it's a study of some sort. My son has been outside of the speech banana all this time I would guess? We're not sure when or how much...Not even sure how much he...
