Very quick update

We have Gage's new FM system, ready for when he returns to school on Jan. 3. I'll do a better update w/pics later in the week, they are keeping me on my toes around here!

Gage went into the booth today, and the results are very promising. He's had no AVT training this go around...only a little babble here and there w/me at home. We know over this break from school what we need to be working on, he simply needs more practice hearing with the new(est) ear and we are sure his scores will improve for that ear! He scored a 76% as far as comprehension of certain word lists with that newly implanted ear...he's only been hearing w/it a few weeks...on his other ear (left) which is also a reimplant-he lost it couple of years ago due to a staph infection-scored a 96% in comprehension. His audiogram looks great and he, as usual, can hear better than me on paper, in a sound proof booth, if it were only that easy in the real world...we could have been out of there much sooner if we didn't have to wait on him to 'act out' each response. It's just not like Gage to repeat "wide" or "else" from a word list, we had to wait on him to dream up visual responses to go along with his answers so as you can imagine, this took extra time.....
