We went to Alex's appointment today. Alex was very excited to get his aids. When she asked how he felt about it, he beamed. He was clearly happy to be getting them. She started by telling us how she programs the hearing aids to an individuals specific audiogram. She was quite surprised at the difference between speech perception with out programming to the perception with the programming (the computer gives a sample). While she knew there was going to be a difference she was not expecting it to be so pronounced. Already excited, this makes me really excited and hopeful for the future. While I know that this may not make a difference in speech and I have to brace myself for the worst, I still maintain high hopes. After all, Faith requires hope.
