Re: bananna loss?

[Guest guest]

I think that an audiogram can take just about any shape. I'm not an expert, but

my daughter has a 55db loss at the highs and lows but drops a bit to 65db right

in the mid frequencies -- kind of banana shaped but a mild slope and opposite of

what your describing.

bananna loss?

I'm wondering if a child can have a loss in the low and high frequencies but

not in the middle like an upside down bananna. Is this an actual type of loss?

My son seems to hear most sounds in the middle but not in the high or low. Our

audi isn't much help and we are switching. I am also wondering if what could be

happening is that he has a low frequency loss in one ear and a high in the

other. But I was just wondering if there was something other than a sloping

loss like a V loss or something like that actually more like an upside down V

loss. Thanks for your help.

Thank you, that does help, even if it is oposite it tells me that can be the

case. I am going to call tomorrow to Phoenix and set up an appointment for him.

The clinic in town is now telling me we aren't elegable for services because the

people who determine elegability think that he is getting inconsistant results

(they haven't even tried for a consistant results and what I am seeing reflects

what the audiogram is saying) she insists that it is processing and ignores what

the test says and refuses to grant him services, so we are going on our own to

get help elsewhere. It will work out better this way anyway. I appreciate the

help.
