parents of toddler walk away from ci rehab

CI's don't work for everyone. Why continue with a program regardless of who is paying for it if it doesn't work. I as a taxpayer that funds government programs am happy if someone is not wasting money on something that is not working.

You're wrong! This is not true! CI does work for everyone. It depend on sound processor's mapping. If the people don't take care of processor and can stop work as possible. The children and adults need to be careful with sound processor to stay away from destroy.
 
Pinky, it doesn't work all that well with people who have sensory integration issues or are hyper-sensitive to their environment. Got nothing to do with mapping, tone, grain or anything. It just... how the brain decide to process its inputs.

They thought the program is stop working. The child can get replacement the new sound processor. They shouldn't give it up on CI's program.

There are so many students at my work with CIs that dont work for them.

That's one of the concerns for me if I were to get one - sensory integration.

Really? That's strange! I don't know how much about sensory integration with children. I never hear of this before.

I guess the CI can help people without sensory integration. The best to ask ENT doctor and audiologist the questions.

Yep. My most trusted audiologist said that it wouldn't work for me on that basis alone. My diagnosis have been: heightened senses as part of a coping method with low vision/blindness and deafness, high-functioning autism, ADD, ADHD... actually if you name it... it's probably in my medical history. Everyone has a different opinion of what I actually have. :eek3:

That's interesting.... I suppose to have diagnosis of ADD long times ago but I never did. I has usher syndrome and profound deaf since I was born.

Not always..we have students who dont have sensory issues and yet, they dont respond to sounds. It all depends on each person's brains and how they process the sounds. One can "hear" the sounds but not understand it.

Okay. This is what you put the link to. THis isn't even from an audiologist. It is an online test. And it shows you have no need whatsoever for a hearing aid.
 
Both of my kids were in occupational therapy for sensory integration issues. Visual and tactile stimulation were issues. Motor planning issues. Vestibular issues. If and when the kids loose their hearing (50% chance), these issues will have to be considered.

WAAAAAAYYYY BETTER than mine.

Maybe that dip on 500 Hz from the left ear may need an ITE.

Ummm... If I understood you, they have processing issues with sounds as it reaches the brain...correct? Another way to put it, is that the brain can tell there were "sounds" but it doesn't know how to put in "context" for the person to act on it. There is a disconnect somewhere in the cognitive facilities.

Now, you have me curious...could this be a developmental issue or this goes deeper than that?

I have HFA too! Good to know I am not the only one with these concerns related to the autism!

Like with HAs work for some and dont work for others. I see it the same with CIs. There is no specific answer for that. That's why I am a firm believer in the philosophy of Deaf Ed I have now but I wont go into it.
