Monday Kai had the latest ABR done (advanced hearing test) so we can go forward with hearing aids. His right ear has remained about the same, while his left ear has improved and is actually now better than his right ear. The doctors believe it is because of the hydrocephalus decreasing. Because of the increased pressure on the brain, it also increases the pressure on his ear canals, so when it drains, the pressure is relieved and he can hear better. We have one more appointment on the 12th, where we will test both ears one more time and then get the mold done for his hearing aids. We are hoping to get him to hear as well as spoken conversation. That is the goal!
