Hearing Aids and Therapy

This morning, at 8:00 am, we were at the HEAR Center for Nathan to get his hearing aids. He is doing remarkably well in them. He is not trying to pull them off and so far he seems to enjoy wearing them. Right after they put them on, they took him into the sound booth for another behavioral test. This time he made responses to sound that were at 50 dB. This is a great improvement. It will take several more tests, Nathan getting older so he can respond better, and speech therapy to fully know if the hearing aids are all he will need. Just from observing him today, it seems as if he really is hearing well.

Later this morning, the boys had physical therapy with Kristi. They both did very well and she was very pleased with their progress!! Always a good thing to hear. She showed us some new positions and ideas for play that will strengthen them and move them closer to their activity goals.
