I know this was posted a while ago, but I will share our experience with our daughter Sydney. We don't have any experience with the soundbooth but it might help explain why the ABR varies from the soundbooth yesting. She failed her newborn hearing s…

I visited the Kendall school in January. It is really awesome. Their birth through pre-k programs are so amazing. We are planning to move up to DC for the access to deaf culture. I grew up in Fairfax county and we are hoping to move there and atten…

Federally funded. We will be enrolling our son James at the end of August. It is awesome!! The public school system in our County (Charles) is horribly undereducated with severe disabilities… Continue

He was originally tested when he was 5 months old. His test results were 60db in one ear and 65 in the other. He was fitted for hearing aids when he was 4 months old. I know in my heart that my husban… Continue
