Tomorrow, I am taking Haley to Amarillo for an Auditory Brainstem Response Test (ABR). Before Christmas, she had failed a tone on hearing test in one ear twice. We went to the clinic to see if she might have some fluid or something in her ear, but there was nothing, so they referred us to Amarillo. When we went for her appointment, they did the great big hearing test!! Well, theirs is a little more sophisticated than the schools. On this one, she didn't hear the tones, but she heard the words at the same level. So the doctor scheduled us to come back for another hearing test to see if it was a valid screening. Guess what?? She had the exact same results the second time. Now, we are going for this ABR to see what is going on with her hearing.
A good thing about this doctor is, he is taking it one step at a time. He said we would do the ABR, see what the results are, and then go from there. No speculating...no putting names of bad diseases in my head so I can come home and google them and put myself in a massive panic attack!! I think I like it...one step/test at a time and then on to the next one. I let you know the outcome!!
