Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Congratulations! Isn't amazing how the littlest things let us know that we're doing the right things for our kids?! In a little while you'll have an experience like the one we're having - Ian is annoyed because he can't wear one of his aids for a week or so. The boy wears them from the moment he awakes until he falls asleep - often with one still in. Right now he is just plain grumpy. He HATES not having his " ears on. " He got swimmer's ear while in Florida (a first for us!) and is simply impossible today, his first day with only one aid in. He refused to consider the " kind'a sore ear " a serious issue until this morning when he couldn't even force the mold into his now swollen ear canal. (sigh) He knew that if he complained, we'd go to the doc and he'd probably have to leave his aid out ... something he was trying to avoid. I looked into the ear a few times but couldn't see a thing - no redness, no inflammation. But then he stopped complaining, so I forgot about it. Now we're putting drops into his ear three times a day, hoping to get rid of this before camp next week. He could care less about swimmer's ear or avoiding the water, he just wants his aids back in NOW. (grin) Ah, fun fun fun!

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Hello, Everyone! Sydney got her hearing aids at UNC on Wednesday morning. She isn't exactly thrilled when we put them in every morning--I don't wanna' wear those hearing aids, etc., but she eventually forgets all about them. Last night when I told her I needed to take them off and put them in the Dry & Store, she made a funny face and asked, " Do I still have them in?!?!?!? " It was hilarious. We have noticed some differences already. She doesn't turn the TV up loudly or ask us to turn the car radio up. She also understood me from a room far away while we were vacationing this week. She heard me ask her to get her PJ's. I was speaking rather quietly, too! We're excited. I know that within a week or so, she will feel more adjusted to them, too.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Congratulations! It makes you smile inside when you see that the aids really help them. I have two with bilateral moderate to moderately severe hearing loss - 3 1/2 and 2 and because they still responded even when they didn't have their aids in, I have always held onto a hope deep inside that maybe the doctors were wrong. But now, my 3 1/2 asks for me to put them in if I dont first thing in the morning or after swimming/baths. That makes me feel that they really do need them and have learned to appreciate them.

My son has a moderate hearing loss but responds to everything as would a hearing child his age -- since he is only 8mos old we have no way of knowing what he is really hearing (as our audi say WAH WAH WAH instead of I Love You) --- but my husband and I have to push ourselves to believe the diagnosis and put the hearing aids in. It is reassuring to hear you went through the same questioning but the kids really benefited from the aids.

Then unlike the other boys, Ian popped in his aides afterwards and kept some of the ickiness of the ear canal to grow into swimmer's ear. Had he used an ear dryer, it might not have developed into swimmer's ear. He's never had it before, but then again, we've never let him swim in slime before. So, I'll be ordering a ear dryer and he can laugh all he wants, but I'll bet he uses it without a single complaint. He can now wear one of his aides and is much relieved to be " sort of hearing us.

I have a theory that this happens so that the gray stands out better. Actually I don't have any gray -- my " gray " hair is actually clear, not even white. I tell my kids that it is a reflection on their adolescence, that they're literally driving all pigment out of my hair, grin. According to my daughter, it's " kind'a cool " because it glistens like silver in the sunlight. I guess it would look good glittering on a dance floor ... if I ever went to a club. Someday I'll get around to coloring it, but for now I merely glisten and look my age. -- Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I think an ear dryer is something you use to dry out your ear canal, and the Dry and Store drys and sterilizes the aids. Two different things with two different functions.
