BAER Hearing Test Results

If you are a regular follower of Ainsley's blog you know we've been concerned about her hearing. Although when she was a few months old she had a normal hearing screening we started to have our doubts after 2 behavioral hearing tests were unable to be completed. I wanted answers, so we added a BAER test onto the schedule on a day she would already be sedated for a laryngoscopy. They hook electrodes up to the head and measure brain response to different frequencies. The fear was that, although she could clearly hear, some frequencies could be missing making language very difficult to understand. Although her language processing is quite delayed it is not because of this.

WE ARE VERY PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE HER HEARING IS COMPLETELY NORMAL.
