I always hated when they did that to me. I think audiologist need to start with soft sounds not some loud shocking BOOMS and BANGS! It's a shock to our ears, especially if we've never heard before. I became deaf at the age of 12 and knew sound, but I hated when i was first turned on with my CI and the audiologist would make LOUD noises to see if I could hear it. Of course I could hear it but I had to ignore it to keep from throwing my implant at them.
@Nicolelam4Tweety - I totally agree. It's why I always hate it when I see really young babies scream in pain from the loudness at first, instead of the sensible 'soft' sounds that should be first.
I live in Ogden and my three year old boy is about to have his implants activated in a little over a week. We're pretty excited, but we know we need to be patient as well. Does your daughter attend the USDB here in Ogden? Our boy just went to his first preschool class there this last week.
Y do they need surgery for it when the doctor just placed on her head? Plz tell me! P.S wat a miracle for so many!
