I'm pretty sure the external mike switches off when the aid is on " T " , so no feedback. My daughter's never had any using the phone or headphones.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 > Second; are there any children's books that deal with a visit to the audiologist? , You can download the Oliver book from the Phonak website at: http://www.phonak.com/consumer/parents/oliver.htm The book never worked well for us because it deals with a school-aged elephant getting aids, but it does have a series of pictures of trips to the audiologist. We've had a similar problem with Hadley not liking to have earmold impressions made, removing her aids for hearing evals, or ear cleanings. We've put entries in her experience book, which helped a lot. We also made some changes to how these exams are done (e.g. she plays with the earmold stuff as a treat after she makes a mold; she gets to examine her audi's ears before anything goes in her own, etc.). We've practiced at home with play-doh as earmold gunk, using an otoscope on dolls, etc. It's helped, mainly because it just gets us talking about it. Hadley still hates the ENT, but she suffers through the visit. Early on, we made a book about the support people in Hadley's life. We took pictures of the outside of buildings, the receptionist, anything fun about the waiting area, then the medical people. It might help to do something like that with your daughter planning it out, having you write down what she feels or something like, " When I leave the audiologist, I get two stickers, " or whatever gets her excited. It's not fun to watch it, but I keep reminding myself that someday Hadley will be one of the older kids waiting patiently there in the waiting room. It can't last forever, right???!

Kerryn, I don't know this particular book but I do know book trim sizes. (I design books) A4 is a standard trim size in Europe and elsewhere outside of the US. You could try allowing the book to print even though you get the warning that some of the image will be outside the print area -- if you printer is capable of this. I'm assuming that you've opened a PDF file. If that is the case then you might be able to set your printer to " fit to page " thus reducing the page size slightly and automatically. If all of this is too complex or your printer cannot handle it, please email me the link and the name of the book. I am stting here between a Mac and an IBM, flanked by 2 printers (legal and tabloid size), a scanner and a fax machine. With all this techology surrounding me, I am sure that I could adjust the size for you, or simply print it on my large format printer and mail it off to you. If you want me to send it to you, email me off-list with your snail mail address and the details. Best -- Jill Best -- Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
