We did Kristen's mapping today. Everything is looking good, but after they took her in the booth she wasn't responding to the higher frequencies again. But it could take some getting used too for her to hear with these programs. We are also going to look at the new Phonak hearing aid for her too. Apparently they do have a stronger aid, and the audiologist had told me no not more than 2 mths ago. That anger's me. Even if we get 5-10 more db's that would be great!!! Ah, it's all politics and BS! But hey what can I say, they cover hearing aids until she's 5 years old anyways. And it sounds like there will be a new upgraded CI in the next year or so. Slimmer, so maybe lighter, and of course....costly!! But what does one do??!! We must help her get the most of the technology that she can!
Oh and I should add....that they do have adapter's for the stethascope so that the deaf can use them! I was so happy to 'hear' that...lol
