CORRESPONDENCE - ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

In keeping with my blog, I felt guilty in my experiences with Children's Hospital, because while they would not recommend hearing aids when his impairment was 15-20dB, they may have recommended hearing aids having the knowledge of the Audiogram completed with his back to the Audiologist.  To be completely fair, I gave them a chance to rejuvenate them selves.  The following posts will be exactly those emails.


Prior to actually deciding to email ACH about the scores, I had communicated to Karen Anderson who is the Educational Audiologist out of Florida.  I posted these emails first, as that is how they fit in the timeline of events.


Just a note to understand those posts: they do make reference to Dr. Berlin, who we had been in communication with a couple of times in the past years, and who is a professional that has been in the field of Audiology since its birth.
