A behavioral one, or something like the ABR. Maddie had an ABR that was

normal and those behavioral tests never ever worked for her (she's had 3 here

at CHOP and one at KKI) She is absolutely TERRIFIED of that room.

Maddie had tubes inserted at the age of 2 until they fell out at 3. But

they never put them back in. We did the ABR as a final resort. Because

she understands no verbal language, we wanted to make sure her hearing was ok.

So Kathy!!!!! What's it like being married to an ER doc?!?!?!? Must

come in handy sometimes eh??? LOL Tell Kent I said thanks so much again,

but now that he's let the cat out of the bag, he's in trouble!!!!!! NOW,

we know where to turn for our questions.....;-)
