I used to ride with my dad in the potato truck and we would listen to Paul Harvey 's "The Rest of the Story." I miss those long summer days, my dad, and Paul Harvey; but now you may hear the rest of OUR story! ..."Good Day"

Well It Worked!


Abby's last hearing tests have been very unreliable and she has been very uncooperative. So since July we have periodically played a hearing game. Today we found out that our practice has paid off. She did really, really well.

In today's test we learned quite a bit. Her hearing loss is stable, which means, it hasn't improved but most importantly hasn't gotten worse. We also learned through the bone conductor test, that her hearing loss is from her cochlea not the middle ear.

Today's news gave us more decisive information, which we were in dire need of. During the review after the test; surprisingly, the audiologist classified her hearing as mild/moderate with a sloping to severe. Not once did she use the word "Profound". We are extremely happy about today! :)
