Allie passed all 3 parts of the hearing test with flying colors. They had to repeat some of the sounds 2-4 times before she responded, but she did respond to all of them.
I am relieved, but also bummed that we still don't have any answers to why the delay. I guess next week we'll be talking about an actual diagnosis of dyspraxia and auditory processing disorder.
Thanks for all your prayers!
Rachel

That is good news. Yep I'd like to learn more about the auditory processing disorder myself. Jesse is so absorbed in playing sometimes he just doesn't hear us.

YEAH!!
I know auditory processing sounds scary, but WOW if they are willing to diagnosis Allie now you are so far ahead.
I am not trying to make light of it but it is truly the mildest hearing/speech issue a child could have.
It will take a long time to get things to click for her, but she will not have the early school year struggles you will know right away that an FM system is what she needs to block out the other sounds.
You will be able to use fast forward, earobics and lindabell mood at much earlier ages and the district will pay for the costs.
Mine does not have a diagnosis as of yet for dyspraxia, but has sensory integration dysfunction and auditory processing, it took them years to finally agree on the auditory processing and provide supports and now once again she is learning.
Due to the years without any support for the auditory processing her phonemic awareness is horrid, and she is now struggling in the basics of spelling and more reading comprehension issues than first thought.
I will be bringing up lindabell mood again soon. We do earobics at home and used hooked on phonics when she was around 6.

Rachel,
I really know how you feel. I am so happy she passed her hearing test! YAY! I know with Matthew I was kinda hoping that he had something wrong with his hearing b/c then we would have answers. What type of test did they do? With Matthew they did it while he was sedated for his CT scan. Many hugs sweetie, I hope you find the answers you need soon~

That is great! I know you are looking for a reason, but at least now you don't have anything more to deal with.

Thanks, ladies. We just got back from a weekend trip to see my grandmother in NY, thus the tardiness in reply.
They did 3 different things. First they put the little things in her ears like they do with newborns to see how her inner (or was it middle) ear was functioning. Then they put us in a soundproof room that had speakers on each side. They would say things or play sounds through the speakers, and when she turned toward the sound, a stuffed animal would light up and do something. (there were some sounds that it took 3-4 times before she responded to it, but she did respond to all of them eventually). The last thing they did was blow a little puff in her ear and look at the function of her eardrum. She was awake for all of it.
One thing that keeps nagging me is when we were going over Allie's medical history and all the issues we've dealt with this past year, the audiologist asked me if Allie had been diagnosed with or tested for any "syndromes". The answer is no, but I always wonder if we are missing something.
I am glad that her hearing tested fine and that we don't have something else to be dealing with. But a reason for all this would be nice, too. Sigh.
I'll be curious to see what EI has to say in a couple of weeks.
Rachel
