Olivia's Audiologist Appointment

Olivia had updated audiological testing today at Chapel Hill. We were able to get all frequencies in both ears and even test 8000 Hz which we had previously not been able to test. She did phenomenal! Her hearing continues to be stable which we thank God for. Olivia participated just like she should and would imitate the words her audiologist was saying during testing. Her audiologist told us that most 14 month olds (even with the exact same hearing loss) cannot do what Olivia did today and remarked on how smart she is. Josh and I were both so proud of her. We had new molds made (clear with pink starbursts) and even had a live session with Ms. Hannah (we usually work with Ms. Hannah through the computer). We also ordered an FM system  which will attach to the bottom of Olivia's hearing aid and have a lapel microphone transmitter which I can wear to directly input my voice into her hearing aids. This will be especially helpful now that she's mobile and doesn't always stay within an arms length of me.
