We are lucky to have checked her hearing as I didn't really think it was a problem. At this point we don't know anything. Nothing has been confirmed but I have been assuming that she isn't hearing at least part of what we say and have been more deliberate about language instruction. I taught my other girls baby signs and have done with Hannah as well. Good thing. We are still in the low end of normal for number of words and she now has 4 words and 23 signs. With 2 big sisters and a chatty mom she has the best hope.
I'm not sure what our medical system has for supports for hearing aids and such. Now I am waiting for an appointment and trying to be patient. I was told the wait would be 4-6 weeks so that isn't that bad. I should also have a speech path appointment in November. So I am working at getting things in place.
Do you have any tips?
Is your daughter's hearing loss at all ranges or high or low? Do both your girls have the same loss?
