We found out about 3-4 weeks ago that after 4 ear surgeries (not including tubes) on Little M's left ear, she was going to need a hearing aid in her left ear. We weren't sure how she would feel about it...after ordering it she seemed excited at times and then very curious and cautious at others. Yesterday was her first day to wear it all day after picking it up at the ENT doc's office. She still won't have "perfect" hearing, but it was awesome seeing the difference the hearing aid made in her hearing during a hearing test on Tuesday afternoon. She did great with her hearing aid at school Wednesday and seems to be a little jumpy with some usual noises around the house---now they are LOUD to her! We're not sure if/when she will need further ear surgery, which will likely determine the length of time she will be wearing a hearing aid. Let's just hope she continues to find it helpful and continues to wear it regularly!
