Guest guest Posted December 27, 2000 Report Share Posted December 27, 2000 Colin.... Allana will be 3 in February, but she also has microcephaly (small brain size), and has some cognitive delays from that, and I sometimes wonder how much of her lack of response is due to the hearing loss, and how much is due to the cognitive delays. We think that it is mostly due to the hl, becauses she is a very social child, and seems to want to communicate, but just has not picked up any speech yet. We are trying to teach her to sign, but because of her other delays, it has been extremely difficult. So far all she is signing is " Bath " . I guess the ABR would varify what the audiologist already suspects, and that is that it has gotten worse. I just want to make sure we are fitting her witht he right hearing aids. Thanks for your input, and I love the name Emma. Bobbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
