Back from the hospital...

We have just got back from the hospital. The ABR was performed and it shows Katya is almost completely deaf in one ear and partially deaf in the other. Molds have been made for hearing aids. The audiologist is lining us up for a cochlear implant.

This basically confirms what we thought but it is a bit more severe than we had hoped.

Still there were clear replicatable responses in one ear at higher volumes so that is encouraging.

The audiologist also told us that all the treatments are free and highly prioritised. He thinks we may be slotted in within 3-4 months for the implant... which has to happen in Christchurch.

Katya's Hearing Part 2

Claire took Katya to the Ear, Nose and Throat specialist today to get her ears vacuumed out. This was all successful. The specialist thinks she will probably need grommets (small pipes to release fluid from within the ear drum). The specialist was not worried that it was a serious hearing issue but the tests coming up will confirm that for sure.
