Will these work for profound hearing loss? My son has Phonak Naida V UP now, and seems to be doing OK with them. He's also going through the CI evaluation process, so I'm not sure changing aids is a good idea right now.

Thank you. I will order one and try it out. @Grummer: I don't trust my ears, through the filtered listening tube, to tell me what my kid might be hearing. I hope a good tester will help.

Unfortunately, my son is too small to tell me when there's something wrong with the sound. I change the batteries weekly now, but never know if they are still good at that point, or maybe need to be changed more often. Having a reliable tester would be a big help.

Hi, can someone recommend a good brand of battery tester for size 675 batteries? I have a cheap one from a drug store. It was working fine for size 13, but for 675, it shows battery as full long after it is depleted.

Yes, it's probably all interconnected. He is actually doing better now, since he received hearing aids. He seems less frustrated, and more aware of his surroundings. He is noticing sounds, and experimenting with toys and things that make noise. And he started to babble again, which he hasn't...

He did not have a separate SPD evaluation, but they asked many questions about unusual sensitivities, preferences, etc. Thanks for mentioning sensory diet. I googled it, and it sounds like something that could help. I'll ask occupational therapist about it.

Here are some of the things that lead them to believe he does not have autism. He hates being alone. If he finds himself alone in the room, he’ll run out and search the house until he finds either me or my husband. He loves to be held and cuddled, and would spend all day in my arms if I let...

My son has delays in fine motor skills and also behavioral and communication problems. Lack of speech is only a part of it, because he often refuses non-verbal communication as well. Just to give some examples: He and the therapist are throwing the ball back and forth. A normal child is...

Thank you all for your replies. I e-mailed our audiologist asking about both Phonak Naida and Oticon Sumo hearing aids, and hopefully will hear back soon. I'm certainly not going to rush into getting CI until we try more powerful aids. Yes, my son's hearing loss is progressive, but the...

Hi, everyone, I'm looking for some advice. My son is 2 years old, born premature and with some complications. He passed the newborn hearing test, but then at some point lost his hearing. Here are his test results: L 250 - 50 500 - 70 1000 - 80 2000 - 80 4000 - 90 R 250 - 60 500 - 60...
