Audiology Update

Maria had her audiology visit this morning. She responded more to sounds and music than voices, which we've observed before. She seemed to hear better with the hearing aids than without, though the "without" tests were less in depth than the "with". Her right ear was more sensitive than her left. She turned toward noises on the right, less so with noises on the left. He thought there might be a little fluid in her ear, but never followed up on that and didn't seem concerned.

So we keep using the hearing aids, though he didn't see any reason to turn them up as long as she continues to make progress. He was STILL very excited about the BAER test results. He's going to give us his email address when he retires so we can keep him updated on Maria.

We stopped in the hospital cafeteria and Cathy got some chocolate cake. She gave some to Maria and as soon as Maria saw the forkful of chocolate coming toward her her face just lit up. Her vision may not be perfect, but she knows chocolate when she sees it!
