Can You Hear Me?


As of today, Zane has hearing aids. He had the fitting this afternoon and was very cooperative. In fact, he fell asleep after the audiologist showed me how to properly insert them. Both the audiologists in Denver and here in town said that Zane’s loudness factor likely would decrease. (For anyone who may not spend time with Zane, he is often so loud he gets kicked out of family movies). Well, this afternoon, his vocalizations and intensity of sound increased. Dramatically. We’re hoping it is because he is experimenting with his voice. He kind of looks like he stepped right our of Mission Impossible. Except he is much cuter than Tom Cruise J

    Susan,
    I hope things go well for Zane and his new hearing aids. Were you able to get colored ear molds? We used to do that for Morgan. He wore hearing aids from the time he was 6 mos. old until he was about 3 yrs. Tests showed he didn't need them and Morgan refused to leave them in his ears.

    Please post pics of Zane with his hearing aids. I'll bet he is loving his new perspective on life :-)

    Hugs from me and MOrgan!
