I have a 8 month old daughter who has profound hearing loss.We have been told she will most likely need a Cochlear implant in both ears.She has been given hearing aids(very cute pink ones!!) and we have been told that she has to have them for at least 6 months before there are any decisions made about implanting her. We have a teacher coming out weekly from NC school of deaf to help her learn to "listen." I also have a teacher come out weekly and teach me and my family ASL.I want my daughter to be able to sign as well as verbally speak,but whatever she feels more comfortable with is her choice as she gets older.But, my problem is my husband and I do not make her wear her hearing aids the way we are suppose to.She constantly pulls them out of her ears and just seems soo uncomfortable with them in.I do not force her to wear them and quit honestly hate it.I know that sounds horrible.I just dont know to do.sometimes I just feel like a horrible parent and sometimes I feel like there is no wrong or right way for us.I just want my daughter to have choices and know I did everything I could for her.But,at this point I feel like I am hindering her oral communication by not enforcing her hearing aid use.
