Our little Liam unfortunately failed his hearing test in his right ear when tested right after birth. So, this week we made a trip to Children's Mercy. I was dreading this because I thought it was going to be at the main hospital and I did not want to see sick children. Luckily though it was not at the main hospital and I only saw a couple children that were all at the Hearing and Speech clinic. Bryan and I were not really concerned with his hearing because he seemed to always react to noises. But, just to be safe the doctor ordered this test anyways. After over an hour of testing Liam passed. He slept mostly all of the appointment which was good because he had to be asleep during the first 30-45 minutes of the test. For the sleeping portion, the audiologist attached an electrode on his forehead and put probes in both his ears, this was to test low, middle, and high range noises bouncing around, I guess....I will find out all about the testing when I get the report in the mail.
