the device is an FM system. While it does not eliminate noise, it provides a better speech to noise ratio to the student for the teacher's voice. there are a variety of types from ear level, to desk top, to sound field of the entire classroom. For many kids with APD, the FM system is a great help.

Sorry. Collecting disability cam be more difficult than what you have described. However, if he is getting the therapists to help him, he should progress and do well. Good luck. Dr. H

While all the information is not present, let me make a stab. It looks like by unmasked you are reporting bone conduction responses and if so, then it is possible that there is a minimal conductive hearing loss in at least one ear. A conductive hearing loss means that there is something blocking, for example wax or a middle ear effusion. This will cause your child to hear a bit like he is under water. I am describing this "as at least one ear" because without masking and without tympanograms, one cannot state that both ears have the problem Therefore following up with the au***logist and the ENT or pediatrician is important. Once it is determined that the middle ear problem is resolved, a retest is needed to ensure that hearing returns to normal levels with no sensorineural (or permanent) componenet. Good luck. Dr. Herzfeld.

It is hard to correctly respond without the au***gram. Your au***logist might be a busy lady but she should be able to offer you some guidance and a report on your child with the full au***gram attached. Send a letter to her asking for this support and see if you can't get it. While your child definitely has issues, I do not see that he is meeting these guidelines from what you have written. Good luck. Dr. Herzfeld

The legal definition of disability is probably what applies here and that is based on hearing loss at about 90 dB with limited help from hearing aids. Your child would not qualify as disabled from a legal stand point, but might qualify as needing services from school. As far as SSI is concerned, I am not sure what their guidelines are but there should be someone on the staff who can help you. Call the judge back and ask for a caseworker to help you through the mor***. Good luck. Dr. Herzfeld

sorry, that is not something I am familiar with. You can call the au***logist too if you have specific questions needing to be answered now. Good luck.

Frequently we use an FM system, rather than a hearing aid. That FM allows the child to hear the important voice pulled up out of the other voices, that is, the teacher's voice. But if your child has been diagnosed by an au***logist, then the au***logist should be helping you find the modifications your child needs. Good luck.

Doesn't anyone have questions about hearing loss in children?
