Hearing Aids

Kai got his hearing aids yesterday!  Whoohoo!   Except, he doesn't like them, and they have a hard time staying in his ears.  He absolutely hated us putting it on him, and when he "heard" he got even more upset.  I think he likes the quiet.  The audiologist said that as he grows, the hearing aids will stay on better and hopefully in time he will come to like them.  She said the best thing to do right now is to have him wear only one at a time until he is more accustomed to the hearing aids.

I haven't had a chance to get a picture or a video with him wearing the hearing aids, mainly because he dislikes them so much and they keep coming out, but also because he has spent quite a bit of time the last 24 hours sleeping.

We got a cute little bag to carry all the stuff required for the hearing aids.  One more bag to carry around.  I am going to need a stroller just for Kai's stuff at this rate!  I didn't realize that there was so much involved with hearing aids.  I thought that you had the hearing aids, the ear molds, and the batteries.  Nope, not quite.  The hearing aids are super expensive as well.  We are talking over two thousand dollars for just one.  Holy cow!
