can you use headphones on top of the hearing aids?

I have traveled my child across the country seeking specialized individuals that deal with his particular case. Everyone has consonantly said he needs to be aided however, that is not going to make him 'normal hearing'. I can say as a hearing mother, I can watch tv and hear a knock on the...

that explains it, we dont qualify for speech therapy until we fail a grade :) perfect

just posted the question in the other forum...if they are pushing oral death program when do they let my son in on the big secret to reading lips better. He obviously didnt hear them teach that subject and is struggling so how do you learn to read lips better??

I am confused about oral death programs. Lip reading is never taught correct? is this something you just learn? I know my 9 year old can read lips but he isnt that great at it and if they are insisting on main streaming him and will not teach asl shouldnt someone offer him some tips on how to...

it is possible he would hear the door. It is also possible he wont. A dog can que him. It is hard for him to concentrate on reading lips, hearing and putting things together and keep track of what is happening behind him. Again, I want anything that is going to assist him.

I do think we used the zebra print of that aid at one point!! good choice in color

Thanks for all the input. Still trying to get a solution He had a project that he had to write sayings and glue them on a poster board. One of the sayings was "Seek to learn" he wrote "See to learn" and 2 other of the same issue. He had a clue the next morning it may not be correct but...

looking for on line live teaching with an accredited certified teacher is it out there? How much time is need to learn how to sign on a daily basis? How long does it take to be fluent in asl in general??

A hearing dog can Que my child for many many things. Whenever his name is called, the dog can cue him. He can que him to a vibration or a knock at the door. He dosent need a pet he needs a way to live more freely as he becomes older and more mature Looking for people that have this in place...

So, after my last post on my 9 year old mild hearing loss, I wake up ready to save the world. Call the principal of the elementary where my hearing impaired child is at 8:00 am this morning. After asking for asl, first response is "That is going to be expensive. I would have to hire someone...

AHHHHHH of course grand rapids Michigan does not recognize ASL. They believe kids should recognize speech. BANGING MY HEAD!

Will is using an FM system and has everything the school has to offer. However, no one takes into account the normal things that happen.... People walk in a class and yell things to there good buddy the teacher. Will gets only parts of this because it is confusing. The teacher has to walk...

I never saw your question. ANY HELP is welcome! Thank you for taking time out of your day to care :) We are in Michigan I dont think our hearing dog will go to school with him until possibly middle school for sure high school. I have concerns about age all the kids etc. I do think...

Shel90 I can only smile reading your last post.... Last week Will turned in his project with words wrong. I walk in and ask the teacher why he didnt provide the written version of what he wanted. He said I did, I wrote it on the board. I look at my son Why didnt you write it down? My son...

I dont know why but I always assumed the hearing principal was correct. I am going to do some calling and more research monday morning about this. We have NO help for my son in our school district. The deaf school is about 20 minutes from us. The reason we are struggling is because our...

I dont think Will hates public main stream. I do see slight self esteem issues. Everyone I have worked with that is involved with the deaf school has advised me strongly against it. I guess I have never challenged them. Can you tell me why your mom main streamed you? I dont think they...

We are in the process of getting a hearing dog for my son. We have an amazing trainer we are working with. Wondering what breed people have had the best success with. Or if anyone has a breeder suggestion? We are down to a standard poodle but willing to do what is best!

OK, looking through notes. He tested high on his discrimination scores. That is why the school can not help him. HOWEVER, he is exhibiting signs that he is struggling. Papers being turned in with wrong words. Stories he has of things that are completely different because he couldnt see...
