Re: Sleeping hearing tests for non verbal? - VICKY

[Guest guest]

Hi Vicky,

Sorry for delay in replying, been in hospital for N's hand and wrist

surgery.

Norman's brain stem test came back " normal " as in there was no damage to

the brain stem. Didn't get much further with his " hearing "

difficulties then and over the years with the standard hearing tests.

The only explanation given about his " odd " responses to sound was more

likely to be an auditory processing issue as Natasa mentioned. But I

would imagine in N's case the lack of myelin also plays a major role

with the hearing as in so many other skills.

In the early days he used to be hyper-sensitive to certain sounds and

after AIT this appeared to settle down somewhat. We have been doing TLP

(but still have not completed all the cds), I can really see he goes

completely still when listening and as soon as the 3 tracks finish

(although there is a pause between the next set) he appears to know that

he is finished the session and he then starts to move. This surprised

me as I'd never expected he would work this out! Also when we first

started he would keep disrupting trying to get the headphones off but

over time he is gotten used to the headphones and I really think he

enjoys his TLP sessions now!

I too would really be interested to see Ian Jordan as we have some odd

visual behaviour and Norman frequently has an eye which goes red in the

corner and wonder if these are headaches or migraines.
