baby iyad's 2nd hearing test

we had an appointment with the ENT specialist Prof A...she's such a lovely lady to work with and shared her experiences with us in taking care a child with special needs.. baby iyad did his 2nd hearing test, this time with an experienced audio technologist and audiologist...as usual, baby iyad was put to sleep with syrup chloral hydrate...he fell asleep soon after...

the test (BSER) took about 40 min to complete...alhamdulillah, this time round it was completed without iyad waking up in between...we were told by the technologist that his left ear did not respond to the test as expected..however, further explanation will be given by the audiologist soon after...

the audiologist informed us that baby iyad would probably have left ear profound hearing loss as it did not respond to the noise given at 90dB...his right ear had moderate hearing loss..however, that could be due to his small ear canals that caused the noise given could not penetrate through and give the signal to his brain...a repeat test need to be done in another 4 month to confirm the findings...if the result is still the same, baby iyad might need a hearing aid for his disability..

nevertheless, our little angle responded to our calls and some loud noises..we hope that baby iyad's hearing would improve with age as his ear canals mature and enlarged...he is adorable and lovely to play and chat with..yes, baby iyad loves it very much when we talk to him and sometimes echoed the coo-ing sounds that we made...
