With all of the commotion with the new little one here, I have forgotten about Kristen's last hearing test. Well we test her left ear still due to the fact that it's not implanted and from being on ECMO she may still have progressive hearing loss in her ear. I have been on a quest for a bi-lateral implant on her left side for over a year now. I feel that listening like there is an ear plug in our one ear is an unacceptable way of listening. How does one isolate sounds??!! We don't hand out one hearing aid to someone who has hearing loss in both ears. We give them two! To help them get speech and environmental sounds.
So anyways, now that we have not been able to get reliable results in the sound booth with just behaviours, we will send Kristen for a sedated ABR. Just another appointment in our world! So now we wait!
