another blow - progressive?

[Guest guest]

Ok - so I think this was harder to hear than to hear that both of my

kids are HOH!!! But my audi spoke to someone else who is currently

displaced to Canada and he is very concerned that their loss is

progressive. Damn it. Does it ever end? So the audi is going on

the assumption now that their loss is progressive although I'm sure

we won't know for years to come. Hannah's last test did show her

loss was stable but since it was only a year between testing this

guy doesn't think it proves anything to us. Also - since their

hearing was/or about normal at birth and now they are more moderate

they think it is a safe assumption to make.

That was so much harder to hear than to hear that both of them were

hearing impaired!

So my question - yes I have a question this time - I need info on

this!!! If they are progressive what is the likely hood that they

will progress to deaf? How long? What now?

Oh - and the ball is rolling on the info for our son - they

recommend him going to the local HOH school which I'm looking

forward to - for my daughter they seemed very much against any other

intervention but its a relief to know that my son will get

everything he will possibly need at an earl age rather than having

to fix the problems that no early intervention caused like in my

daughter's case!
