Light Sabre Orchestra

I feel so bad, all this time poor Sydney has been putting up with the squealing of her hearing aids (which happens to sound like crickets), all of this time because I am a rookie. I kept telling her audi that she was getting a lot of feedback, but maybe I wasn't persistant enough because the audi just kept telling me "I think we can stretch it out just a little longer" before we got new ear molds made. I finally called her up and said we need to move up the appointment because poor Sydney was starting to sound like a light sabre orchestra. I could always tell she was up from a nap becuase I could hear her squealing down the hallway as her daddy carried her. I could even hear my voice broadcast through her hearing aids. She couldn't even rest her little head on my shoulder without a loud noise in her ear...it makes me sad.

What a difference her new purple ear molds make. They matched them exactly to the color of her hearing aids. No feedback and no more broadcasting at all. I asked the audi if she was sure her hearing aids were on because they were so quiet.

She did an aided booth test. It was hard to say what Sydney was responding to because her attention span seemed to be short. Her audi said she was responding to voices at about 20 dB. But it's really a wait and see game. At least it lifted my spirits a little when she was able to rest her head on my shoulder and snuggle in my neck as we left the office.
