Re: Alison re Ricky's ABR 1/2 test

[Guest guest]

I hope you get your answers soon. I've come to the

realization that until my daughter can talk and tell

me what she hears we won't know the loss for sure!

She does have aids, does she wear them all the time?

NO. I admit I have been bad about it - mainly cause I

see no difference with them in. That's another story.

Good luck.
