Wired for Sound


We are wired for sound!! Yesterday (Tuesday) Laurel got her hearing aids. They are so cute- pink of course. The picture above is of Laurel after she got them. We bought her a recommended Pilot Cap from a place called Hannah Andersson. It ties under the chin and works great. I wish I could have videoed the look on her face when she actually "heard" for the first time. Her eyes were huge. Laurel amazes me. She is such a trooper. We were at the hospital for 2 1/2 hrs. and she was golden. But, I should have known it was too good to be true. She screamed the entire way home- 1 hr of screaming. I'm pretty sure she was in overload.
This morning she woke up happy as ever and let me put the hearing aids in. I'm not seeing a huge difference yet but it's only been a day. Please pray with us that this will help her! I'll update a picture of the hearing aids themselves later when I get a chance.

  2. why the pilot cap? to keep her from messing with the hearing aids? she just gets cuter all the time. sophie and ben head off to see the hand doctor in two weeks. and a month later the orthopod. Here's hoping that a couple of hearing aids make all the difference for your little girl.

  4. MoonDog..... yes the pilot cap is so she won't mess with the hearing aids. Kind of out of sight out of mind. It works great and she LOVES her hat.

  6. wow! That is a neat idea with the cap. Where can they be purchased? I know someone with a young one that won't keep her hearing aids in. God bless your cutie on her journey to hearing.
