Charlotte has a mild hearing loss and needs hearing aids to make sure her speech and language develop properly. This first pair is a loaner pair that will be used while more testing is done to determine exactly what kind of hearing aid we should buy. This is a great program since these hearing aids cost $500 to $1000 a piece! The expensive "computer" part of the aid goes behind the ear....so we don't have to replace it every couple of months as she grows.....and the silicon ear mold gets re-made as needed. She will get her own pair in the Fall...I think we will get pink ones ;) They also gave us the little bonnet to put on her if she tries to pull the aids out of her ears. I think she wanted one in a different color....she does not look happy:( It was pretty cool to see her reaction when I talked to her the first time with the aids in....she really did respond to me much quicker and was listening more intently! Praise God for the technology and the wonderful people with the Early Intervention Program:)

Hi Lisa, I'm Christina. Your girl is cute and sweet enough to attract me. Every piece of her photo makes me smile. Actually my elder brother was met with the same hearing loss problem just like how little Charlotte met with. Now my brother is in his middle twenties. He grads from a University and working in an overseas company. Everything goes just as normal as everyone did. So Lisa, don't be worry of cute lil Charlotte. God loves her just like how He loves you. Keep on captures ;]
