Sasha has new hearing aids!

Sasha is an unusual child. He has no ear canals and instead of ears there are only small rollers. Sasha was sensitive only to very loud sounds. When Sasha was 7 months, he underwent an audiogram in a surdological center in Moscow. After that the baby got the diagnosis of bilateral conductive hearing loss of the 3rd degree. Sasha develops almost like all children, but learning to speak correctly is more difficult for him than for hearing children. He can change similar sounds. Also, sometimes it is harder for him to explain something. Sasha has recently learned to read, and this is a huge achievement! Sasha likes to go to kindergarten, he has many friends there. In kindergarten, the boy has lessons with a speech therapist. In order for Sasha to hear, talk and develop well, he needs bone conduction hearing aids. Unfortunately, after the medical examination only one device was included in the individual rehabilitation program and was given to the boy. With one device Sasha hears as if with one ear, therefore can "mishear", incorrectly pronounce a sound in a word or not to understand what he is told, it is necessary to repeat. With one hearing aid it is impossible to navigate where the sound is coming from. It can be dangerous for the child. In order for Sasha to hear well, for speech development, the sound has to be perceived from both sides, which means a necessity of the second device. This year he is going to school and it is very important to hear well to understand teachers and to learn well. Surdologist advises PontoPlus hearing aid. It is very important to get the device in spring in order to be able to adapt before the school year begins.
