toddler with hearing loss support

[alitraxx]

Hi there,

Are there any parents here that have children with hearing loss? Our 2 year old was just diagnosed with severe hearing loss and will start to wear hearing aids. It's been hard on our family to accept this, and we were hoping to find either a support group or other parents who have gone through a similar experience. Please let me know if you are a parent of a hearing loss child, thanks!

I know this message may come a little late. I am an audiologist and may be able to help you out with any questions that you still have not answered.

Lottieclee,

My child has passed the hearing test in the hospital after she was born, is it possible to be diagnosed with severe hearing loss later in her life even the initial hearing test is NAD? and why?

Thanks.
