[QUOTE="zephren, post: 2516111, member: 79171"] Welcome :wave: I am not a parent so I cannot say how much is a 3 year old and how much is from being hoh. Others may be able to answer that question. Based on your comment,s it seem like she is struggling a lot in a oral only environment. The db loss number is just a number. A hundred people with the same db loss level will have 100 different experiences - some will do well orally, others will struggle. Spending all day trying to understand speech is exhausting and could be why she is needing a nap during the day. Have you looked into programs for deaf/hoh kids? Even hard of hearing kids can benefit from some exposure to sign language to fill in the gaps of what isn't clear verbally. [/QUOTE]
