Hello, I would like to ask whether there is any experience with Usher... my son is 4 years old, has a cochlear implant and some difficulties in balance. He was also diagnosed with myopia. Genetic testing came out OK. Doctors insist that there is no reason to worry but I read about Usher and Iam...

Is there any experience with the advance bionics implant? Our doctor recommended it for the implantation of my son. Is it reliable, good quality, with good service etc?

My 22-month old deaf boy is having a hard time to cope with my departs. I have to leave him with my mother for 2 hours every day and he is really upset. He generally seems very attached to me and I guess that he cannot understand that I will be back. I have tried signing to him that I'll be back...

I have posted elsewhere about my son's symptoms (profoundly deaf, a little late in his gross motor skills due to bad balance, skin rash). We have done dozens of tests which gave normal results (brain MRI, ear MRI and CI, eyes checked, ultrasound at tummy, blood tests, DNA tests, two skin...

My 1,5-year old boy has been wearing his HAs full time since Christmas. He has been making new sounds and is now (thank God) used to them, however he does not have systematic reactions to loud sounds and his speech therapist is very anxious about that. Is this normal? Should we wait for about 6...

Is it common to have a practically deaf baby wear HAs before being implanted? I mean for the months until the surgery. Because this is what the doctor told us about my son, however while speaking with other parents, they asked me what's the point in HAs ("would you put eye-glasses to a blind...

Dear all, My 17-month old baby boy is deaf and also facing difficulties in his motor skills. He was a little late in all his milestones, he does not yet walk unaided and is having physiotherapy for his trunk hypotonia. We have put him to loads of tests, thank God everything coming back normal...

Has any of you with hearing problems tried to listen to special CDs that promise to help restore hearing providing a variety of frequencies so as to activate the hearing nerve? I was thinking whether this method could help my son (16 months old) who was diagnosed as profoundly deaf however he...

Dear all, This week we found out that our 16-month old son is practically deaf (neurosensitory type). I have so many questions... I guess that what matters to me most is this: can my baby hear and gradually learn talking only with hearing aids of high quality? Or is implanting our only choice...
