I have not contacted that school at this point. We have several Audiologist, Speech Therapists, Case Workers, Interventionists and other support people working with us for her education. In our area she has 3 options. 1- is to attend our local school district with an IEP and her own "helper"...

She does learn it a lot faster than me, thats for sure! I have some books, and She has some Signing Time DVD's that she watches. I met a new friend that was trying to teach us (she is deaf also) but she was having a hard time knowing what to teach. But soon, we will be having a student from the...

I just realized how long it has been since I posted anything new about my daughter. She is going to be 2 very soon! She was able to be implanted in October 2010. We are still working on learning to hear, but we have seen improvements when we go for her mappings. I have even heard her make...

My daughter is almost 2 now, and she was able to get the CI in October of 2010. She is making progress and at each mapping her ranges are expanding. She has even starting making a few new sounds! We are signing with her also, she does well with it. Thank you everyone!

Thank you for the video. I enjoyed watching it! I have to admit I think it is adorable watching the babies sign. I also think my daughter is so cute with her little hearing aids on :)

I find that interesting too, because for my daughter I have been told that she will stop making oohs and so on after 4-6 months. She is 6 months now and everyday she continues to make new noises and sounds. The infant hearing program says that a deaf baby stops because she hasnt heard the noise...

Just an update* I took Lacey to pick up her hearing aids this week. I put them on her as much as possible, it is kinda hard with the feedback though since she is not able to sit up yet. I am unsure if they work for her. The audiologist says it will take her a while to learn to hear with them...

Today I took my daughter for an audiology appointment to get fitted for her hearing aids. While talking, we got on the subject of Cochlear Implants. The doctor told me that she is eligible for an implant but not the curved one that is placed through the cochlea. My daughter has no cochlea, so...

Im sure it was rough to go through all of that. I am glad things have seemed to work out now with sign language. I hope there is a possibility of a ci for my daughter but that seems doubtful. Thank you for sharing your story with me.

I am trying to learn sign language a little at a time. I always show her the sign for milk when I feed her. Just a few for right now so she can become familiar. We also use cup, baby, sleep, more... things like that. She obviously hasnt done any of them back to me, but my 5 yr old son is really...

Rockdrummer, does you son have hearing aids or does he use sign language? How old is if I can ask you that. And also, is he eligible to do cochlear implants? Thank you everyone.

Our first hearing aid appointment is this wednesday. I am hopeful that they will help her hear something. Allycat, at what level do the hearing aids bring you down to? Are you able to hear speech? I am just wondering how much she could potentially hear, the audiologist said they might only help...

Does anyone have deafness due to missing or malformed cochleas? My 5 month old daughter is missing her cochlea in the left side and just the start of one on the left. I havent read very much on this in any of my searches and I am curious to meet someone who also has this condition or knows about...

Her Audiologist does work with a pediatric ENT. They have mentions the Auditory Brainstem implant, but they said it would not be an option until age 12. And to be honest, it makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I dont know a lot about it, just because it is near the brain. And also, I feel like...

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I will do the best I can to decide what is right for her. Im sure as you know it just gets a little confusing with all of the information thrown at me. And since I can hear, I dont always know what to think of it.

Thank you. Her one side has hearing at 105, and the other 110. On two of the tests she has had there have been consistencies as low as 90. I have begun to learn a few signs to work with her. We have the Regional Infant Hearing program helping us monthly and I feel that she has the best set of...

I am new to this site, and just joined today. This site has come up several times in searches I have done, and has been helpful. I thought I would tell my story and see if there is anyone who has a similar story or encouraging words. My daughter is now 5 months, and was born with a hearing...
