Hearing Aids

Today was hearing aid day...

Preston has a slight hearing defect, that effects his higher tones, that means that when he is face to face with you he can hear almost everything. If we are in a crowd it is really hard for him to pick out any one person, as there is just to much for him to focus on. He can hear the hard sounds like ba, ka, da but has a harder time hearing softer sounds like s, f,n.

We have gotten his hearing aids very early but we want him to be us to them for when he is in Daycare or in School.

The wonderful thing is that he did not tug at them the entire time he had them on. They really did not seem to bother him at all. They are so tiny and weigh almost nothing.

Daddy putting in the hearing aids for the first time...and not struggling from Preston!

The really cool thing with his hearing aids is that they come with some much. We have a special cleaning kit, and emergency drying out kit for when Preston accidentally throws them in the dog dish, a string thing that attaches to both aids and then on to his clothes so we don't lose them when we are out and about, and the coolest thing is for when he gets older...they come with really cool stickers to cover the aids.
