Sorry I should say he responds to sound when wearing his HA.

We live in the Bay Area. Thanks to everyone for their replies. As for ASL I have been watching YouTube videos when I can and plan to take family classes online soon. My son responds to sound a lot (turns to his name, stops crying when I sing) so I look forward to our family being bilingual...

I talked to our audiologist and she turned the volume up this time since she programmed it conservatively the first time to make sure he would tolerate it well. So I probably didnt notice the feedback before when it was quieter. My original post probably made me sound so clueless. I know the...

Haha thanks for giving me something to look forward to when my son is old enough to mess with me.

Is that the case even if the room is quiet and there is no sound going into the mic?

My infant son wears a hearing aid. He just got a new mold today and I forgot to do a listening check at the audiologist office before I left. Now that I'm home, when I hold the earmold up to my ear, all I hear is squealing but if I connect it to the sound check tube, it sounds fine. I never...

@Bottesini, you're right. I have some time. For now I will learn as many signs as I can and use them around the house. To bring the conversation then back to where I'm at right now...we had our hearing aid consult yesterday and did ear molds! The audio recommended phonak bolero q or widex baby...

Not really sure the right way to jump back into this conversation but it seems like many of you are recommending he try to attend a deaf school. I'm curious if people have personal experiences to share about local dhh programs and mainstreaming. Maybe I'm in denial but I am hoping his first...

As I understand it, the deaf school in Fremont is voices off, right? With a moderate to moderately severe diagnosis, I'm hopeful that my son can speak english as his first language and ASL as a second language. So in that case, wouldn't I want him to mainstream? Or I read about some DHH programs...

Thanks everyone for the supportive responses. I will work on learning some basic signs for now and start using them with my son. Too bad at his age he does a lot of crying with his eyes tightly shut :/

His range is 40-65 db by air and 30-45 db by bone if that helps?

My son is 4.5 months old. He was diagnosed with moderate to moderately severe mixed hearing loss based on two unsedated ABRs. A sedated ABR is planned in 3 months time. We have our hearing aid consultation next week and then our first early intervention evaluation the week after. So here are my...
