When is your appt? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hearing-evaluation#post-1869072 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 19:24:50 +0000 regberadaisy 1869072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: thanks! Great tip on taking the boppy. And yes it will be at the audiology department of the local children's hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hearing-evaluation#post-1866040 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 12:06:26 +0000 Applesandbananas 1866040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: it took about an hour, but my LO referred on both ears, so maybe it'll be much quicker for you. I took the boppy and nursed him the whole time. It's painless, but everybody has I be pretty still for quite awhile, so having the boppy was wonderful.</p> <p>ETA - if the left ear comes back with hearing loss, I'd insist on a retest of the right ear too, the screening equipment is not as good as the equipment used in follow up, particularly if you are going to an audiologist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hearing-evaluation#post-1866029 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 12:01:36 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1866029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: makes sense :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hearing-evaluation#post-1866022 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 11:58:33 +0000 regberadaisy 1866022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: we were leaving. :) I wanted to be home that night so the local children's hospital does the follow up. </p> <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: good to know I can nurse her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hearing-evaluation#post-1865952 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 11:18:57 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1865952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: we had to do this (and I work in a hearing clinic). She failed both ears in the hospital. She was drowsy, but not sleeping for the test. If your LO is awake (doesn't fall asleep on the car ride over), they may let you nurse. They just need to get a good seal on the ear, so sleeping works best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hearing-evaluation#post-1865596 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 08:36:54 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1865596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thy didn't repeat in the hospital?</p> <p>Charlotte failed her left ear, and the tech came back an hour later. I actually nursed her when she did the test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hearing-evaluation#post-1865594 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 08:34:54 +0000 regberadaisy 1865594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 2 failed her hearing test in the left ear at the hospital. So we have to take her next week . They said she has to be nice and tired and ready to sleep. Um yeah. Because like I can control an infant's sleep habits. Lol</p> <p>Anyone been to one? Any tips on making sure she's sleepy and what to expect? Thanks! </p>
