Summer and Splashing

[Joy Weiss]

Now that summer is finally arriving, water is everywhere. Water tables, puddles, sprinklers, pools... My son wears hearing aids and what a pain to have him take them off and then put them back on depending on his whim for playing at the time. Where do I put them when I take them off? Do I have to bother when it's just a water table or bucket? Anyone with hints for water play for me?

Hello,
I assume you have a regular audiologist for your son. Ask hi or her about something i saw at my daughter;s audiologist' the other day. I;m sorry, i don't remember the name of it. But what it was, was this waterproof band that goes around the head like a head band or earmuffs. it came in different colors. and it's used for children that have ear plugs or hearing aids.. when i go back, i will find out the exact name and brand.. Hope that's helpful..

Oooh, I like the idea! We need to go get new ear molds made so I'll ask when I go.
