Hi all. My son who will be 3 in December has just been "officially" diagnosed with a severe hearing loss and will soon be fitted with hearing aids. We had suspected hearing problems for quite some time and he has been seeing a SLP through EI for the last 10 months. Initially she thought he was just apraxic. They are going to let him start pre-school a year early so hopefully he can catch up some with his speech. He seems really smart and probably has been fooling us with what he hears and understands for quite a while.
It has been quite a roller-coaster of emotions for us lately with all these tests, but the hardest for me was being with him while he was being put under.
ps. We also have a 17 month old who seems to have normal hearing.
