Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 I wrote recently with some questions, any input would be appreciated. What is considered progressive? How much additional loss in what time frame? I am asking because we just had testing done for (3 1/2 yrs) and it looks on paper that his hearing has deteriorated 40 - 50 db in some frequencies. This is the first time though that we have used conditioned response with ear phones. had to put a block in a bucket when he heard the tone. Before this (and months ago as well) he had just looked to the right or left in a sound booth to see the toys light up. Anyway the audiologist will retest in 3 weeks. But, she said don't panic we don't know if it is a change in hearing or just the new test. was really on task and concentrating. He tested well and didn't tire until toward the end when they did bone conduction. I was under the impression that these tests were more accurate than the old visual reinforcement audiometry. If so, could the VRA (right??) have been that off? Is it that subjective that his hearing is really severe and not moderate? Have any of you had this experience?
