It's hard to believe that we were back at CHKD this morning for our 3rd mapping! Thankfully these last 2 weeks have been much better than the ones prior! For the most part, Sean is doing a great job of keeping his processors, aka "ears," on and is now seeing, or should I say, "hearing" the benefits of the processors!
Our appointment today was at 8:30 a.m., which was a bit stressful getting into Norfolk during rush hour, but ended up being the best appointment yet! Our Audiologist, Mike, had Sean go in the booth to play a listening game of "Hi bunny!" Testing how well Sean is hearing with one processor at a time. Each time Sean heard the "noise," he would turn and a bunny would light up. Then Sean would say, "Hi Bunny!" It was the cutest darn thing seeing him so excited about testing back in the booth! Blake was a big helper, as he quietly sat in a chair behind Sean. Mike even let Blake do his own "animal show" by pressing the buttons making the sound booth animals move and groove!!
After booth testing, it was on to make changes to Sean's processors. The #3 and #4 maps he had the last two weeks we will keep and then add two new ones that will allow for us to turn Sean's sound up a little more! Should sound be too loud, we can always back the sound down some.
Thankfully I am not feeling as overwhelmed by this whole process and starting to see Sean "Growing by leaps and sounds!"
