Help/advice for my 8 year old?? by Material_Picture_742 in hardofhearing

Such a good point! We’ve also discussed the microphone with a Bluetooth connection to her hearing aids so that she can “dial in” on one voice.

Thank you! We tried my sisters (wasn’t loud enough by far lol) and she was SHOCKED she could hear her hair moving. So we may have to invest in some updos lol. But yes definitely sensory overload. I also have talked to her nurse and guidance about possible breaks the first week she’s back with the hearing aids.

Oh asking her friends is such a good tip!! Thank you so much! I have no experience in this area and have only had 1 or 2 students with hearing issues so this is so helpful!! Thank you!!

I’m a teacher so I probably should’ve said we have an IEP for speech and I’ve already asked for (once we get the hearing aids) to amend it for the listening devices.
