Lori,
I can't say Tyler's hearing loss is due to his surgery, since he got his hearing aids the year before his surgies. However, since Tyler and I both wear two hearing aids, I felt I could give you some moral support on this.

I know how frustrating it can be to know your child is having trouble hearing. Just teach her to look at people when she talks to them and to make sure they face her when they talk to her. Both of my kids picked this up from me, since it was the only way they could be sure I had heard them when they were small. I feel these are just good communication habits, no matter what hearing level a person has. Even my daughter, who has sensitive hearing, has mentioned how this helps her understand people better.

If it is found that there is need for a hearing aid, believe me they have such high tech hearing aids out there that you will forget she is wearing one.

My prayers will be with you,
Rena
