I also can get to hear me if I am close enough, she even will here the

high frequency sounds, sh,ch, p without her hearing aids. She is also at the

70db loss in her left ear. The audilogist is perplexed a little because

according to her audiogram results, her high frequency ranges is wher she

slopes down. Oh well, I just told her therapist, that she is covered in

prayer so it is no wonder she can do things she can't..

I remember that when my daughter, with a severe-profound loss bilaterally,

first got her hearing aids I noticed that she began to respond to more sounds

even when her hearing aids were off. When I asked about it, the audiologist

and her therapist said that she is developing auditory memory. The sounds she

can now hear with amplification she is able to recognize when the aids aren't

even on. Pretty amazing!

I definitly noticed this with my daughter who is almost 3 and has a

severe/profound bilateral hl. I remember being so confused at first because

she had never responded to those sounds before she got her HA's then after

she got her aids, she started responding better even when they weren't in. I

thought I was going crazy. lol.
