We finally completed the test required to figure out Noelle's hearing loss. After 9 Hours of testing we are done! (for now anyway )I know we will have more test in the future. We learned that Noelle will need bone conduction hearing aids. Since she most likely has fluid on her ear drums which blocks sound from traveling to her ears, if they place an aid on her nerve behind her ear, it will amplify the sound and allow Noelle to hear everything around her.
The biggest downside to getting aids is having to pay for them. They cost $4000, and insurance doesn't cover any of the cost =( We are in the process of trying to find a way to fund them and hope to be approved by a grant. We will see what we can do.
We want to be able to provide Noelle with the best life possible and hope that aids will help her to be able to develop and grow to her maximum potential. Pray that we will find the funding we need to get these aids asap!
