[quote=Anonymous]Op here. She definitely can hear and speak - it’s just clear to us (volume, what she tells us) that she doesn’t hear well. The audiologists and ENT are pediatric. We’d gone to an audiologist in our doctor’s medical group this time, but we’ll go back to Stanford at ENT’s suggestion. We’re in Bay Area. The Stanford pediatric audiology does do implants but I don’t see going that route. Her speech tested at bottom 1% for articulation which the speech therapist said translates to a non family member understanding her about 60% of the time. Out of context I understand her maybe 70% of the time - much more with context. Meanwhile we’ve started down the path of getting her assessed through the school district. She’ll meet with a speech therapist and some other experts, but they only bring in an audiologist if there’s documented history of hearing loss. And since she’s had many inconclusive audiology appointments (“it’s wax”; “it’s fluid”; “the machine isn’t working”...) I don’t think we have that. [/quote]
