My son goes in for the second round of hearing tests today. It is hoped that the tests today confirm that a bone-conducting hearing aid will work. If he gets a hearing aid, it will be the headband type. Because of the potential surgery to correct his ear canals later in life, I do not think they want to surgically implant the hearing aid.

The test could be an hour, it could be six – he has to be asleep when they do some of the tests. Actually, he has to be still, but as the recipient of my genetics, his ability to be still is about zero.

Please pray. At issue is also the fact that hearing aids are not covered by medical insurance.
