Aimee got her new hearing aids on Tuesday, when we met with the Audiologist. As you can see, they are pink and sparkly. Girlie, for a cute girlie. She seems to really like them. She has been telling me stories all day long. None that I understand... I'm thinking they might be in gaelic. We were able to get a set that were a bit cheaper (a bit like only $2,000, instead of $3,000!) and they came with a full warranty for 3 years, including a one time replacement. Depending on how fast her ears grow, we will get new ear molds made every 4-6 months (about $200). Normally they would test her hearing that often as well, however, as we have to put her under anesthesia, they are allowing us to go for a year in between tests.
Good news this week-I was able to get through to all the departments and companies that I have been struggling to connect with for the past several weeks. We ordered Aimee's bath chair (yeah, she will be cleaned more often), set up her next surgery appointments and made an appointment for a wheel chair fitting. Ugh, what a relief to finally get through!
