8/1/16 Audiogram/Hearing Test


Car-Car-

It was Mommy's first day back to work; so Daddy took you to your hearing test and Maevy even got to watch. You did great and they were able to get a full test. 

The good news is your word recognition testing was still great. The not-so-great news after reviewing your last year's worth of audiograms - it does look like your hearing has gotten a little worse. It's possible we're just getting better testing now that you're older, but I was little sad to see that 1000db test below 90. We're going to be pro-active and go ahead and test you in 3 months again. Then we'll decide if should do a more rigorous CI work up that includes additional testing. 

We'd love for you to be older and part of the CI decision making. But more than anything - we want your ability to hear speech to be the best it can be. One pro I can already think of with a CI - is they are now making water proof CIs...so pool time fun would be way more fun. 

In the meantime, keep up the great work!
