She is now wearing her CI for most of the day. I have noticed that when we put Sierra in her car seat that she immediately takes her magnet off. She will not let us put it back on while she is in the car. As soon as we are out she will let us put it back on. Just wondering if anyone else has gone through this before and how long before your child felt comfortable wearing their CI in the car? Thanks for any info. Take care and God Bless. Our son often takes out hiw aides or turns them off in the car. Or he'll put on head[phones and listen to his music. His reasons: Car noises can make it hard to hear --road noise is one item. Another is the air conditioning -- the air blowing. Open windows creating even mild wind will make him unable to hear. He takes his aide out or turns them off whenever there is a situation where the air is moving -- from open windows to rollercoasters. I suggest asking her what the issue is. Does she sit behind you and you like an open window? That is my son's choice of seat and now I drive with my windowe up at all times -- and the AC on when I need it.

My son (soon to be 18) sometimes accidentally switches his telecoil on, and the place he notices it the most is in the car - it picks up noise from the engine. He doesn't like that one bit. The car can be a pretty noisy place, and Sierra hasn't been hooked up all that long, so she may be feeling overwhelmed by all the noise. My son didn't remove his CI in the car - the place he refused to wear his CI for quite a few months was in the bathroom (he was 12 when he was implanted). He would take it off, hand it to me, go take care of business, and then come get it from me and put it back on. -Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
