She was really trying to find a way to blame the issue in the BAHA unit itself, but that would not be the case. It is quite an odd sensation & perception of voice to use it on yourself, but amazing at the same time. Thanks for reading and the input it always helps to hear other ideas. Best wishes to your family as well.Elias!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13907924132619625535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131658417200450911.post-37016646182617579502010-02-19T08:49:41.521-05:002010-02-19T08:49:41.521-05:00I am so sorry that it seems as though the BAHA aid...I am so sorry that it seems as though the BAHA aid will not help Elias. I do understand your dissapointment. Just one little thought: have you yourself tried on the BAHA-device? If you prolong the band by the velcro, then you might be able to fit it around your own head. I would advice you to place the device on your front, and rather tight. And then 'close' your own ears with your thumbs. The sound you will hear will be quite chaotic, as it is the 'entire' sound from all around, but with some concentration you should be able to dechipher speech etc. If not, I would think that the BAHA is not working properly. You probably have already tried this, just a thought from here to double check the device itself. If the BAHA is not the problem, then I hope you will be able to find alternative causes for the lack of hearing. The development of Elias's communicative skills will then have to follow different roads, if hearing aids will not help him. Best of luck with this - and hugs to you all.TueogKirstinelaCourMarkerRasmussenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11176520362927135023noreply@blogger.com
