We picked up Zoe's trial hearing aids on Thursday. They are so tiny! So far we haven't noticed a huge difference. They are set pretty low and then we will move them up as needed. Zoe did smile when we first turned them on. Then she started frowning at her toy as if she did not like the new way it sounded. We also noticed that she orients toward sound more. For example- we put on music and she looked right at the computer where the sound was coming from. We have these aids on loan for three months so we can really get a sense of whether she needs them or not. They are fairly confident that she will need hearing aids. We just want to be sure we find ones that work well for her. We will go have her tested in a few weeks to see if they need adjusting. So far she is not pulling on them and they stay in place well. Luckily she does not have the fine motor ability to pull them off and put them in her mouth like her friend Whitney loves to!
They are so tiny it is difficult to see them when she is facing forward.

That's great about the hearing aids! Whitney started to laugh the first time she heard a airplane! It will take some time for her to get used to but if you are consistent she will keep them in! At least most of the time!;) Good luck with everything!
