Happy Hearing Birthday....

Well the big day finally arrived. Sydney got her hearing aids YEAH!!! She didn't even complain or fuss when the audi put them in her ears. The audi each had us practice putting the earmolds in her ear. It's a little tricky I must say, especially when Sydney turns her head to see what you're putting in her ear. Then she taught us how to care for them. I learned any type of moisture is their worst enemy.

When they were first turned on Sydney just raised her eyebrows and looked around as if to say "where is all that sound coming from". She jumped when the audi sneezed. She actually fell asleep with them in on the way home. That is a whole other trick I have to master, slipping her hearing aids out of her ear without causing feedback and waking her up. She kept them in her whole first day without a fuss. The more time goes on I think she is able to localize sound better. The fact that she isn't ripping them out of her ears is a huge plus and gives us hope that they are working for her. She likes playing with her little jingle bell bug more now, maybe because she can finally hear it?
