Wirelessly posted Update: took son in to private clinic for audiology test. He behaved remarkably well. Testing in booth shows moderate-severe across all frequencies. We are trying to get referral for new ABR at a different hospital (3 hrs away) BUT in meantime are going to get him used to us...

Wirelessly posted You guys all bring up valid points. Yes we are hoping that with HAs my son will pick up more of the consonants etc in speech and we will be able to understand more of what he is saying. There appears to be enough residual hearing that he is trying to talk to us but not...

Wirelessly posted The Early Intervention playgroup he is in takes place in a classroom at the AB School for the Deaf but is run by Connect Society. I was under the impression that AB School for the Deaf doesn't work with under 3 years of age. I could call and confirm, but Connect is what...

Wirelessly posted Hi everyone! My name is Alyssa and I have a 2 year old who has (at least?) moderate hearing loss, currently unaided. His audiology tests have been very confusing (long story) so we're not sure exactly how severe the loss is but best guess is at least 50db across all...
