Did you have your appt yet? If so how did it go? Elliott seen his audiologist a few weeks ago and his left ear (which was his better ear) totally dropped to almost nothing. We are seeing his ENT doctor next week to discuss a CI.

I'm not sure about that type specifically but Elliott's can stay on all the time. The school audi did give me the tool to swap them out with the originals though, which I do sometimes on the weekends or extended time away from school. The only reason I do this is because the battery door on the...

Anything helps! Elliott does well with the FM system we are told, and the teacher says that if she forgets to plug in the receiver he will come up to her and gesture for her to do so. I initially thought about getting one for home but he seems to be fine without one.

I see that our sons are about the same age and have the same hearing loss. He has a FM system but it is used only in school (3yo preschool). The "boots" on his are essentially just larger end caps that replace the original ones on the hearing aids Are you in the US? Just curious because our EI...

I've thought about using single 4x6 photo album sheets and taking pics of objects and taping a flashcard on the back with the ASL sign.

lol, funny they used a screencap pic of a french tv morning show host (Melissa Theuriau) as a clickthrough to their site. For obvious reasons I'm sure :)

I can confirm that, at least here in Slater IA. I took a pic of my indoor/outdoor thermometer clock that morning...

Our stuff was fine because we had it off the floor already. With all the rains this year we would get seepage but it would just find the floor drain. This last one though the drain couldnt keep up. I made a cleaned up clip of the newscast with audio here... YouTube - 8 at Six.avi

They said Hilton had 4 feet of water in it and the basketball floor was floating. Im not sure about Hickory Park but I think its okay. Target and Walmart have 3 feet of water in them, I imagine a lot of people will be out of work for a while.

yep, I made it to work in Ames this morning at 6 then we closed and it took me over 2 hours to get home only 13 miles away. Here is some cool helicopter video from today around Ames NEW VIDEO: Aerial Tour Of Ames Flooding - Video - KCCI Des Moines We were relatively lucky where I live...

Forgot I had this video from Easter. My boy is very happy to find candy in his easter eggs after the easter egg hunt. He even uses the candy to sign "candy"! YouTube - Elliott's Candy

SRIRACHA chili sauce is awesome, I use it on everything!

The Naidas are his first hearing aids so I really cant compare them to any others. He has been wearing them for about 9 months now and his speech is getting better. Most of his speech that we do understand are single word requests for things he wants, or his favorite response to us, "NO!" It...

My son is 3.5 and has a similar hearing loss, moderate/moderate-severe. He was diagnosed late and has been wearing Naida 3 SP's for the last 9 months and they seem to work very well. He understands speech well but also rarely talks. Although he does try more often now and we can see he is...

lol, its funny how a month and a fresh perspective changes things..... extinction is a little dramatic tho I think.

The biggest number Ive read is 5000 barrels a day. One of the biggest spills in history also happened in the Gulf of Mexico (Ixtoc I) and released ~25000 barrels a day for about 9 months before it was stopped and the Gulf seemed to recover from that okay.

I think I will just bring my son with me next time I go there and start a conversation if she is working. We normally only go there for emergency items (wife wants candy) since they are so expensive and nearest grocery store is 12 miles away.

I'm at a loss. There is a girl that works at our local market (our town is <1200) who I think is deaf/hoh based on her language, but obviously Im not sure. She has long hair so I cant tell if she has HA or not. I dont want to embarrass her by asking but I also would like to know if there are...

Thanks all, we do our best. and we always think its not enough! My daughters results from the BAER came back as a very slight hearing loss, <10%. Since we never had any indication of a hearing loss, this makes sense. They told my wife that she might have trouble hearing faint whispers and she...

Congrats!
