It has been a long process but we are finally at the point where we have figured out that Nathaniel is not hearing as well with his hearing aids as he let on. He is very visual and when the Audiologist put him in the Listening Booth, he would fool us and turn his head at the same time as sound was produced. He knew what to look for, we had to start hiding our faces during testing because he had became very good and reading your eye gestures and lips.
The last test proved it, he had the same hearing loss at 2 years old as it was when he was 3 months old. We wanted to believe that it had changed due to his gross motor skills and following 3 step directions so easily. He is smart, very, very smart! The next step after this test is The Cochlear Implant Surgery.
