No I am not a spammer. I am a mother of a toddler diagnosed as almost deaf and I am trying to be informed so as to do for him what is best. Maybe what I ask seems foolish to you, I don't know. Maybe it's still the shock I am under.

OK it seems too good (and simple) to be true however I saw that this method is based on a scientific study (I don't know whether I am allowed to write here the name of the scientist). So I just wondered...

I guess that the CDs should be used from those who do not have a harmed hearing nerve, right? How can I know that my son belongs in this group? His exams (ABR, ASSR) showed that one ear is completely deaf while the other gives a response at 100 dB. He was OK at birth, with a clear medical...
