baby iyad 3rd hearing test

another early morning for baby iyad, luckily he's an early riser...so he woke up early for his ENT appointment with Prof A...this time round it was just mama and baby iyad as papa had class in KCKL..we waited at the clinic feeling sleepy and bored...baby iyad had a good nap before he started wiggling in the wrap and suddenly made a loud explosion just before his turn to see the doctor..we changed quickly just in time before we were called...


Prof A arranged for another BSER before deciding to put baby iyad on hearing aid, based on his previous BSER which showed profound hearing lost on his left ear and moderate hearing lost on his right ear...

baby iyad was put to sleep with syrup chloral hydrate and dozed off soon after...he was put on the probes on his head and ears and the test commenced...the audiologist informed me that his left ear showed some improvement the hearing as now his brain responded to 70db noise from 90db previously..his right ear also improved from 40db to 30db...but the test on the right ear did not complete as baby iyad was already awake, probably very much disturbed by the noise as he has better hearing now...i realized that too as he showed very positive response to noise before this...


alhamdulillah, we were very happy with baby iyad's positive improvement...as for now, we agreed upon repeating this test in another 2 month, hopefully to see more improvement, before deciding on the hearing aid...


thank you for your prayer and support, they are very much appreciated and may Allah bless all of you with good life now and in the hereafter...
