Guest guest Posted January 17, 2000 Report Share Posted January 17, 2000 Hello there. I am a mother of a 6 yr old boy who has a complete loss in the left ear and partial in the right. goes to kindergarten in the morning and has a special ed class in the afternoon. He also sees a teacher for the hearing impaired and a speech pathologist. For the amount of loss has he has good speech but he also lip reads and I am teaching him sign also. We have had our difficulties and adjustments to deal with but is coming along great. He was diagnosed at age 2 but then had 2 misdiagnosis after that and we had to fight the military for more testing. finally received his hearing aids(he wears bi-cros type) in late Feb. of 99 and has had no problem adjusting to them! I do not know any other parents of deaf or hoh children in our area (CT) so I am always looking for people to communicate with and help my family learn about what we can do for as he grows. Thanks!
