[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has unilateral hearing loss. We were told that HA is not a good option when he was born. But I insisted to give it a try when he was4.5 and it took his hearing loss from sever to mild. I only regret not doing it sooner. He is like a different kid now. Find an audiologist that have experience with kids. We got behind the ear one and we were told that phonak brand is the best for kids. We had this for 6 months and we are happy with it. Also keep in mind that the child might need adjustment period and hearing new things for the first time. My kid is older so I got him books about other kids with HA so he doesn't feel he us different. I also make sure to go to events were there are other kids with HAs as much as possible. He asked me from before why he is the only kid with it. Something to keep in mind when you're become more aware of it. Keep a positive attitude about it and aim that your kid get to the point where its on all time expect for her time of course. Good luck! It is do worth it.[/quote]

Thanks! This is a good point. Any books you recommend? I will have to ask about hearing communities. [/quote]
