Olive, yep we have actually started to notice a difference already, she seems to be more understanding of what we say to her, she has also popped out a few new words since the op and some words she was not clearly prounouncing prior to the op she can now clearly say. I am just happy to know that she wont have ear aches as much anymore, hopefully she will have none?

lilima, I can understand how hearing loss can reflect in their behaviour. I am hoping our DD's behaviour improves, I dont know if its maybe just an age thing, but we will see. I hope you can get your DS in soon.
