My 8 month old wears Phonak Nios S H20. Bilateral. He has a moderate-severe sensorineural loss.
According to an attempt at a booth test his unaided threshold for speech was pretty conclusive at 60db and was a definite according to the testers at 75db.
One aid was working at the time of the test, and with one, his threshold was 40db. I am not sure how good it would then get with two.
This kid does not seem to respond to our voices at home at all though. He sure responds to sign language but not sound. Are these HAs helping him or not? So confused.
What does aided severe loss sound like anyway? I know it differs from person to person. I just wish I knew what was going on in his little head
