Hi all mom :wave: , How are u and your babies? For me, after battling with the cold for almost one week, I still have watery eyes and blocking nose.... :sick: I start to suspect that I might develop the very common allergy symptoms here in US. :-? I didn't have them last time when I was in HK! Anyway, I will go and see my doctor tomorrow to find out.... 稚言治語, "一個相當遙遠嘅星球﹗孤獨的人啊﹗" u are lonely on Earth then? "who is your boss (or which company)? I am not sure whether he can figure out which one it is." Oh, definitely he has to know him very well, because my boss = his PhD supervisor! ;-) Katmami, "I'm not sure how much they will charge me for ABR test." Long long time ago, it was $43 per visit to the hospital audiological center. I don't know if it's increased or not. Daisy, It seems to be more than a month after your baby visited EMB, has she got her hearing aids yet? :-? Loveyanpig, Regarding your question to Daisy: once a baby is diagnosed to have significant hearing loss in both ears, he/ she should be fitted with hearing aids and starts the habilitation asap. |

Hi Shiba-Inu, My son finished the ABR test yesterday and he passed the test. The audiologist(who helped us to arrange an earlier appointment ) was very kind. She did the test with my son . I don't know how to say thank you to her. She told me that my son passed the ABR test , so we can ignore the result of the OAE test. Is it true? I just wonder why he will fail the OAE test ? Do you think that he need to do the OAE test again? Or take him to ENT doctor to check his ear? Also, she told us that the left ear of my son showed some delay response in some 波 , but it is still normal . Is it right ?(Maybe I misunderstand her meaning because I just care about the word"pass") I missed the chance to ask her more questions. As a mother, I still worry about the ears of my son. Sometimes , my son will not give any response when I speak loud. |

Hi mdoip, That's really a good news! We are all so happy for u and your son! :-D :-D Let's clarify some of your doubts and u will be even happier! :-) "She told me that my son passed the ABR test , so we can ignore the result of the OAE test. Is it true? I just wonder why he will fail the OAE test ?" I don't know what frequencies has the audiologist tested your son with in the ABR test, but in most of the case, YES! Passing ABR means that your son has normal hearing for both ears at the frequencies tested. His failing in OAE in the MCH may due to many factors: e.g. skill of the nurse, setting of the equipment, or merely he is someone in the very small percent of the baby population that does not show strong OAE responses as most of the babies do. "Do you think that he need to do the OAE test again? Or take him to ENT doctor to check his ear? " No and No. u don't need to go back to test OAE again, and ENT doctor can check his outer and middle ear, but not the whole hearing system. "she told us that the left ear of my son showed some delay response in some 波 , but it is still normal . Is it right ?" Yes, u got it right, if she said that it showed delay but still within normal range, it's NORMAL! "As a mother, I still worry about the ears of my son. Sometimes , my son will not give any response when I speak loud." It's reasonable to still feel worry because u are scared by the OAE results. However, if u want to double-check his hearing status and your son is over 6 months, can sit on your lap for long time and can trace moving subjects visually, u can bring him to one of the private intitutes that I have emailed u. Ask for a "Behavior test", not ABR this time, and it does not need sedation. That test will demostrate to u actually how he responses to sound. All in all, I think u got a reason to relief already! ;-) |

Hi mdoip, :lalala: :lalala: :lalala: 令人興奮嘅消息,點慶祝先? :-) :-) :-) Anyway,唔好唔記得我哋呀,多啲上嚟呢邊forum支持吓呀! 子喬月底去攞耳機,希望可以幫到件事啦,到時再update大家。 :-o loveyanpig,子喬so far做咗2次ABR test,每次都係唔同嘅部門做(東區醫院 & 下葵涌特殊教育),每refer去一個新部門,就會request做一次。帶耳機我諗係有实際需要,否則對BB嘅語言学習會有影响。 革命尚未成功,我哋繼續努力! :sm: :sm: :sm: |
