Alison re Ricky's ABR 1/2 test

December 30, 2004

Hi Alison,

thank you for your kind words

I agree, these ABR tests (now that I know what they

are all about) are really not great for those with

non-severe loss at least for babies! It just left me

hanging and man that is frustrating!!

Yes it does appear that he has mild loss in at least

one ear and possibly only due to the fluid, I hope,

but I am left still waiting for the real answers...

grrrrrrrrrrrrr.........

Does your daughter wear aids?

Sorry you had such a frustrating day. I know how it

is. I really think that for us with babies with

hearing loss it's SO hard to be 100% what the loss is.

I think the ABR is a great test for more severe

losses but no so sure about other losses. I really

don't have much to say but I feel your pain. Just

hang in there and at least it's only mild AND that

it's probably the fluid. Hang in there..
