ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL (4-24-2010)

Jan,  

Thanks for the quick response.  It is no longer feasible for us to go see him. He is now in Florida; he left Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina. Apparently, the documents I supplied were complete enough for him to give me some info on.     

I am sending you the newest tests from December 2009 that show the additional hearing loss and the results from February 2010 that confirm the loss. Both tests were completed with his back absolutely to the examiner, which was never done before.  We have trialed a Bone Conduction aid and will upgrade to hearing aids on Wednesday. We are hoping that you can give us your opinion on how this type of hearing loss affects a child in school and what YOU would do for it. This will help us decide if we should make another trip to ACH or continue with our current Audiologist, since we cannot see Dr. Berlin.  Please don't hesitate to call if you prefer to talking rather than email.

Thank you.

Sara
