We went to speech therapy today and they put Brett in the sound booth. We haven't been in there since he got his hearing aids in February so we weren't sure how he would do. He passed with flying colors!! In fact, Dr. Zuck (the audiologist) and Mrs. Laurie (the speech therapist) wished they had filmed it because his reaction and response was so good! He responded to everything and they said that he was hearing perfectly normal with his aids on!
The best news of all is that as long as he shows these responses as good as he did today, he will not have to have the sedated ABR test because they got enough information!! I hate to put him to sleep if we don't need to.
I am always so nervous going to these therapy sessions. Even though I know in my heart that Brett is just fine, it always hurts for them to tell me that he needs to be doing some things that he isn't yet. I know that they see the whole picture and don't want him to be delayed. We sure don't want that either, but I also want to keep him a baby as long as possible since he is "The End!"
By the way, Brett makes fast friends with all of the old men at stores and restaurants...they are all drawn to him because of his hearing aids...and because they all have them too!!!
