Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 hi interesting visit with our new audioligists last week ... same results of hearing testing down to about 40dBs, and then they did a different test he hasn't had before ... they tested the bone conductivity by putting a thing on a headband that Josh wore (tiger ears headband - Josh looked so cute!), and his hearing tested as *normal* !! so, turned his hearing aids up again, and we are to try them again .. they said that it indicated trhat the problem in his ears could either be fluid related or perhaps bone structure. Bone structure could be exaimined by getting an x-ray of his head - has anyone had this done? ... i've only registered people talking about CTs? gotta dash ... Ben calling Josh a " pusher man " as Josh is getting in the way and destroying Ben's game... Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi Jo, Kendra has conductive loss and has tested 'normal range " during one bone conduction test. Otherwise she tests profoundly deaf bilaterally. Our difficulty is finding a way for the bone conduction aid to function when she turns her head or runs, etc. Kendra often had fluid in the ears in the past and does not have it so much presently due to a variety of changes. She does have misshappen ossicular bones which account for at least part of the conductive hearing loss. We were very pleased (and shocked) to see her respond so well to the recent bone conduction test. There is hope for her hearing some things after all. Kendra has had a CT scan as well as an MRI and I can't recall right now which showed the problem with the hammer, anvil and stapes - ossicular chain bones. Perhaps both? I'm thrilled that Josh had such a good response to the test!!!!!! He certainly must have been adorable with the tiger ears headband.
