Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 My daughter is 9mos and seems to have problems with hearing. She is in EI and they had recommended her for a hearing test because they weren't sure if she could hear good. When toys that make noise are put beside her ears, she doesn't seem to respond. She had passed her newborn screening test and the EI people said if she passes her hearing test it could be a sensory problem. Well, I took her yesterday for her hearing test and she did pass it; the lady said that means her inner ear, middle ear, and cochlear are fine. They can do a further test where they put electrodes on her and check the waves but she will have to be sedated. I'm not sure if we are going to do that one yet. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem with their children. Also, what does it mean to have a sensory problem?

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I was reading what you wrote and my son last year went through a lot of testing for his hearing. We did the sedated test where they test the nerve. it showed that he was not responding to sound up to 90 decibles. however his other tests showed only a slight hearing loss. our neuro doc said he wasn't sure of the accuracy of the nerve hearing test and now wants to wait until we get our muscle biopsy results before we start looking anywhere else. all i can say is go with your gut instinct on the test. if it is in the nerve i have been told a hearing aid won't fix it. although i would ather know than not as my personal opinion.******* wrote: My daughter is 9mos and seems to have problems with hearing.
