| Hi,ABB, 我女女做ABR時四個月大囉; 結果係左右耳都有輕度弱聽; 因為做測試時有爸爸抱住, 又食完奶, 所以瞓得好好, 完全不需要sedation.... 講時講, 你BB可能只係超級"懶瞓猪"一名呢!瞓覺瞓得num其實都係一種福氣---因為好矛盾嘅係:我女女現需然只有七個月大兼有少許弱聽, 但佢嘅感覺靈敏到每日下午唔會瞓多過一小時, 因一有少少門聲或電話聲就一定醒...所以成日瞓得唔飽, 有時仲有黑眼圈ga, 陰公!!!(好似係我尼個無良媽媽要迫佢捱夜咪書咁!) :cry:..... :-) 唔好太担心住, 放鬆D la, 香港人! Katmami :roll: |

| Oops... :oops: Not logging in for 1 week makes a huge difference! Can I make an announcement here : I will have my baby soon :-P (Expected due date is early Oct)! Since it's now only 4 weeks to go, I may just "disappear" for a while anytime.... ;-) And hope that I have enough energy to "reappear" pretty soon! |

| MarchK, Yeah, I 100% encourage u to enroll in "聾福"o既函授課程. As far as I remember, it is a course offered by a clinic in US with good reputation in helping hearing impaired kids. |

| Daisy, “另外一問, 以子喬嘅情況, 如果去做人工耳蝸手術, 唔計$嘅issue, 其实做一隻定兩隻耳仔先好呢 ？” U asked a million dollar question! For hearing aids, we definitely know that two is better than one if the hearing loss asks for two. However, for CI, although the common sense is still favoring two, there is no large-scale study data to back up this idea yet (well, one such study is moving on now, but no official data until the next 1-2 years!). That’s why govt or insurance companies will usually pay for only one. Also there are voices arguing that the benefit comes with two CI may not worth the cost. One alternative is, keep the hearing aid on one side after having CI on the other, although the sounds are of different nature (one is acoustic, one is electrical), people seems to be able to make use of them pretty well together. |

| Kwok, I agree with reginang, don’t :-( too early, u are definitely trying your best to help your girl already! Does your girl have hearing loss only on the right side, or both ears with more severe loss on right side? For the former, it’s called unilateral hearing loss and she can still hear most of the daily conversation using her left ear. She does not need a hearing aid for the time being. However, there are daily strategies that help (I posted it previously, if u can’t find it, I will post again) For the latter, the strategies of helping her depends on the different degree of hearing loss in left and right. ENT doc, no matter govt or private, cannot do much about hearing loss except in cases like ear infection. Since your girl has the problem since 4 mon old, I don’t think that is the case. However, u may still want them as a 2nd opinion. If u book 唯聽, it will probably be another hearing test. If u think your girl has had enough hearing tests already (too much and too frequent will make her HATE hearing test and becomes much less cooperative), ask for an ENT referral instead. |

| Tbo, Since h/a is some “foreign” things to be put onto the head, some kids really do not like it. Also it depends on how smoothly u can put it on. But relax, sooner or latter she will get use to it. How old is Sa Sa? If she is a little baby, try to put on mittens on her hands so that she cannot grab the h/a, also u can try taping down the h/a by using surgical tapes. Distract her with as many other events as possible (e.g. colorful toys, bottle) when u put h/a on for her, or once she feels the need to taking it off. If she is above 2, try to incorporate the wearing of h/a into her morning routine. It’s always a good habit to wear h/a all days long except during sleep/ bath/ swim. So after she wakes up, do the usual brushing, washing face, changing clothes and finally putting on h/a. As Sa Sa is a girl, try to put some hair clips/ ornament at the same time, so that she feels good to put things onto her head. For both age groups, if she is someone who really does not want anything to be put onto the head, start practicing with a hat/ head band. Do it for yourself as role model too. After she gets used to the idea, then move on to h/a. Give it a trial! |

| ABB, Does your girl have any severe illness during these 2-3 weeks that direct u to worry about her hearing? Like what Katmami has mentioned, some 2 months old babies can be REALLY sound sleepers and ignore sounds when they are in deep sleep. So your description “沉睡時測試她”, “她食完奶睡著後…” may explain the lack of response. If u are still worried, u can do the followings: 1. Try the sudden loud sound when she is more alert, or at time when she is kind of sleepy but not falling asleep yet (this is the timing I like most, because u will see clearer response like eye widening). Of course don’t give her any visual/ tactile cues at the same time. 2. Tell MCH your worry and let it repeat the OAE test. 3. In very rare case, babies who have normal OAE can still have hearing loss. So it’s OK to repeat OAE and do the ABR at Phonak, the audiologist should then be able to tell u if that’s the case. 4. There is no research indicating any significant side effect of having ABR test, except if she needs sedation (babies are not recommended to have sedation too frequent) Good luck! |
