That's great that she knew when the sound went off. At least you know that she

is getting bennefit from it, and that she probably likes it otherwise she

wouldn't be all confused and trying to fix it when it doesn't work.

We are making progress

Hi, I just had to share this story from today.

Annika was having a session with Kim, DHH services (and C. was here

observing since it was Kim's last session this summer). All of a sudden Annika

started to pull her left headpiece on and off of her head. She would scratch

her head under where it was placed and then replace the headpiece. We just kept

asking her what was wrong? Did her head itch?

I had never seen her do this before. I thought is something not working or

does it hurt now. Well, I went to check the left processor and sure enough it

wasn't working, the lights were off. I readjusted the battery and it was fine.

Well, sometimes we have a problem with one of the batteries disconnecting once

and awhile so I thought that was it. As the session went on she did this over

at least two more times. Each time the battery was not engaged and she knew she

wasn't getting any sound.

I ended up changing the battery and everything is now fine. I am not so

concerned about the battery but to say that Mom almost cried at this. She knew

that she wasn't getting any sound and beyond that she knew which side it was on

Like I said I have never seen her do this before though she has been getting

much better in replacing the headpieces when they come off during the day. I

just had never seen her show me that she wasn't hearing anything.

We are making progress!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!

,

That's great news! used to walk around with one hearing

aid dead and never say anything. Now that her hearing is worse and

she's older she lets me know as soon as the battery dies, but I

remember the first time she told me - I was really happy. This is

great news!
