Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hi everyone, Hope all is doing well....today Dakota had a re-mapping at his audiologist. and they did a hearing booth test to see where his un implanted ear was..to see if he is a bilateral implant candidate....with his hearing aid he hears levels at around 60 -75 db and with the implant and he hears speech levels at 15db and tones at 20 db with no aid or implant he couldn't hear at 110 db and that was as loud as the test would go...so we know that he is hearing with the cochlear implant..I just was beside myself with seeing the difference..wowoo...has anyone had experiences with an auditory verbal therapist ...if So I would love to hear about it... Thanks for letting me share my news from today.... ~Cathy~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter is 20 mo and we knew since she was 5 mo that she has a 80% HL to the r ear the lf ear is fine but im so scared over time the left will go bad d/t compensating! I just finally did her follow up since her CT Scan (at 5mo).. umm last weeek! Ive been procrastinating b/c I think she hears just fine.. (like all mom's im sure!) But she is on the normal level of a 20 mo old.. So have they said much like will his good ear eventually go bad?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Welcome to all of the new people that have joined the list recently. My name is . I have two sons, (9) and Caleb (7). Caleb has a mild sloping to profound, bilateral, sensory neural hearing loss. His is oral, wears hearing aids, and is doing wonderfully. To the person who asked about high frequencies sounds - Caleb's loss slopes from about 60db to 100 db (both ears) from 1000 - 8000. I know that he has trouble hearing many consonant sounds (even aided), and cannot hear s, f, and th at all with out his aids. He also misses the ends of words sometimes, and often has trouble discriminating between certain consonant sounds with out lip reading- Ex. the " t " sound and the " c " sound - although this is getting better now that he is learning to read print. :-) One of our therapist gave us an audio cassette that simulates what it is like to have a high frequency hearing loss. It's called " Sound Hearing - Or Hearing What You Miss " . I'm not sure where to get it but others on this wonderful list may be able tell you or point you to a similar item. It helped us understand a lot. Again, welcome to the list. God bless, FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hello, hope this helps. Here is a copy of an audiogram with the speech banana drawn on it. It shows that at the f, s, and th sounds are at the 4000-8000 range. If I understand correctly, the audiogram shows those sounds occuring at around 20-30 db. So, with a loss of 45-50db, he won't be able to hear those sounds without an aid. Cheryl > > Seth just had his hearing test for this year. I get so nervous every > year that he has it done.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 yes - they can. It just looked like she might have been trying to send an enclosure.
