Aside from the issue with both of Molly's BAHAs not functioning, we have a little girl who is now requesting to use them. She hasn't really cared for them too much for various reasons. But now I think something has shifted in her and she wants them, mainly during TV/Movie watching. So now she is requesting to turn the TV up way too loud so that she can hear it. Plug your fingers in your ears solidly and that is a fairly good approximation of what she hears. It's about a 30-40dB conductive hearing loss with your fingers in your ears.
I think I'm going to try and get her some headphones, either wired or wireless and have her use those until we can get the BAHA fixed. Even after the BAHA is fixed, this should be a good compromise when she gets tired of the BAHA and just wants to watch a movie, or use the computer.
