嘉宾文章

你有没有想过从另一个父母那里听到它的孩子第一次听到的是什么?正如他们所说,母亲知道最好!遇见切尔西,他的一岁儿子以利亚是双边耳蜗植入受体。

切尔西几周前为Med-El博客写了一篇文章雷竞技ios下载它如何觉得作为父母找出以利亚有的听力损失。在这篇第二篇文章中,切尔西分享了所有兴奋和预期,当她的儿子在第一次听到最初的时间的激活日时,他们的儿子会听到。

Elijah’s activation day

Since learning that our son, Elijah, was a cochlear implant candidate, his activation day was the most anticipated day of our lives as parents! This day was when our son—who was born profoundly deaf—would be hearing for the first time!

在我们的期望中,我们与很多父母交谈过这一过程。我们了解到,第一次听到不同的儿童有不同的反应。有些孩子第一次对听证有没有反应,他们只是试图弄清楚。我丈夫,迈克尔,我很高兴看到Elijah如何感觉到听证会。想象一下,因为你出生而不是BAM!一个全新的世界!

在Elijah的重要日子,不仅是他可爱的耳蜗植入声学家,劳拉和他惊人的外科医生,j,现在,他有一个整个支持团队,包括迈克尔和我,他的祖父母和他的叔叔。Elijah知道有些东西,因为每个人都在那里发生。他喜欢在关注的中心,立即试图让每个人都在走进去时笑。我告诉你,他是他的爸爸!

We also asked our MED-EL audiologist, Nathalie, to be there for his initial activation when Elijah would be hearing for first time. Throughout this whole process, Nathalie has become such a trusted part of our family and we just wanted her assurance that everything with the programming was where it should be. She, of course, was excitedly there!

Elijah在两个月内收到助听器来帮助刺激耳蜗。由于这和其他耳蜗植入物准备约会,他习惯于人们弄乱他的耳朵。所以,当他们第一次将耳蜗植入音频处理器放置时,它并没有打扰他。劳拉和纳撒利在植入物之前,J博士告诉我们柔和地说话,告诉以利亚一堆让人放心。

While dad held him, Laura told us what she was doing as she turned them on. Excitedly, I said, “Elijah.” He whipped his head around and everyone in room couldn’t help express their amazement with a “whoa!” He was smiling! Elijah was smiling because he was hearing our voices! His smile was a bit of nervous smile at times as he was hearing for the first time. Dr. J said that he is simply trying to decide whether this was a good or bad thing because hearing sound was so new to him.

在他激活后,以利亚不会用他的新耳朵发出声音。我认为能够听到他自己的声音对他来说是令人震惊的!现在,在他激活后两个月后,我们不能让利亚安静!他喜欢发出声音,我们作为父母,喜欢听他!真正酷的事情是他知道声音来自他的新耳朵,并用它来利用他的优势!

Elijah takes the term “selective hearing” to another level! If we are around a noise that he does not like, such as a baby crying, Elijah will simply take off his “ears”—his audio processors. Ha! He also has speech and hearing therapy three times per week. My heart melts every time he copies a new sound! His favorite sounds to copy are “moo” for cows, and “ma” for mama!

以利亚也知道他的名字并回应它!我的儿子出生的聋人,当我称之为名字的时候转身转身!我们非常幸运能够在这种听觉冒险中,迫不及待地等待他所有的未来成就!
