...Thanks for the advice Meg, we will remember it. <br /><br />Thanks for the insight Stacy about my crazy kid. Now is that official medical insight or just a casual observation? <br /><br />JarrodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9038308005718389007.post-11605683242885641012009-08-17T18:43:40.807-05:002009-08-17T18:43:40.807-05:00maybe your baby "looks crazy" because yo...maybe your baby "looks crazy" because you are flashing a bright light in her face every other minute! not that i want you to stop because i'm loving the pics. and if she becomes famous someday, she'll already know what it feels like to be chased by the paparazzi :)<br />stacy cAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9038308005718389007.post-28939706038911874572009-08-17T09:34:52.029-05:002009-08-17T09:34:52.029-05:00Lookin good!!! I'm sure she'll appreciate...Lookin good!!! I'm sure she'll appreciate it when you tell her future suitors how you used to cut her hair with the same thing you stick up your nose :D<br /><br />Since hearing & deafness is kind of my thing...<br /><br />My advice is to still keep checking her hearing until age 2, because even though the damage to the hair cells in the cochlea will have already been done -- ABR testing is never exact. ABR is the type of hearing screening done on infants and young kids, and quite often there will be false positives & false negatives. ABR is done by reading the reactions of the brain after being stimulated by sounds. There have been countless cases of kids who weren't deaf getting lined up for a cochlear implant just because of false ABR readings. <br />Because of the false outcomes of the ABR screening, some places are now requiring a second type of hearing screening to be done in conjunction with it. But at Sara's age, there isn't another option. <br /><br />So my advice is to still have her tested at age 18 months & 2 yrs. & just watch for any signs that she's having trouble hearing, or if speech development is abnormal or her speech is hard to understand. Even the slightest hearing loss can be a problem & needs to be addressed early.<br /><br />I know you have countless specialists telling you things, but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't bring that up. Hearing is important, and sadly it's often overlooked.Meghttp://www.whatmegmakes.comnoreply@blogger.com
