[quote=Anonymous]Hi, my daughter was just diagnosed with moderate/severe hearing loss in both ears. We are trying to process the gravity of this while also moving forward as quickly as possible to catch up to where we would have been if this were caught early (failed newborn screening but somehow passed an ABR at one month by what I'm convinced is an incompetent tech). If you have experience with this, please share it, including best resources and options and any experience with a later diagnosis. I have looked at the River School and we are trying to get hearing aids ASAP, and in the mean time also comparing aids to cochlear implants. Also, in regards to the River School, so you know if part of the tuition ends up being covered by insurance? I will look into this more next week too, but just wondering if anyone has an experience to share.

My older son is the reason I've been involved in the special needs world for entirely different issues. We just never saw this coming. Thanks.[/quote]
