Audiology Update:
I was able to talk to the doctor today who performed Aimee's hearing exam on the 12th. The conversation was similar to the one we had after the exam. The doctor had discussed the situation with her colleagues, however, was still uncertain what is the best course of action. The big question is, if and when her myelin develops will it improve her hearing?
We are meeting with Genetics at the end of May and Neurodevelopmental at the beginning of June. We should also be meeting with the Washington Sensory Disability Services around that time. Since the situation is not cut and dry, the audiology doctor and I will touch basis again after those appointments to discuss next steps. We are hoping that her behavorial development will change enough over the next 6 months that we can do functional testing rather than putting her back under aenesthetic. We will most likely retest her using one of those two options in early September. If her hearing has not improved significantly, we will have her fitted for hearing implements.
Next stop, Adolescent Medicine!
