I have a beautiful new grandson who has "moderate hearing loss" He's almost 6 months old. We can tell that he hears more sounds with his hearing aids but he still seems not to hear what we consider normal conversation level of sounds. I have two questions.
1. He started wearing his hearing aids right at 4 months. Lots of testing went into getting the hearing aids but NO testing was done at the fitting or since to see if the hearing aids are working for him. Is that normal? Should there have been tests done to see if they made a difference? He goes back to audiologist in October so I want to know what my daughter should be asking. We are learning ASL and sign to him as best we can for now.
2. We don't live near a deaf school. We have considered moving out of this area in the past but with no pressing reason to do so until now. Do you think we should move to an area that has a deaf school? There's one in Jackson, TN that is just a couple hours from my family, Any suggestions/advice appreciated.
Thank you!
