Super Ears Check-Up

We left for Denver Friday morning to go to a check up on Conner's "Super Ears" at Children's Hospital and had a great weekend.  Conner was such a trooper, and had a great appointment. Since he is still growing - as a 5 year old should, he needs new ear molds every three - four months.  (When he grows, the molds do not fit as tight, and if they are not a good fit they will ring with feedback in his ears.) This appointment was the year mark for our first hearing test, and we were given some great news. Some children have progressive hearing loss, and can be completely deaf by the time they are teenagers.  One way to know if this is the case is to compare hearing tests over a long period of time.  So far, Conner's hearing is testing about the same as this time last year - which means he most likely does not have progressive hearing loss - we were so excited to hear this!  He picked out new ear molds - blue and white swirls.  When they arrive we will be sure to take some pictures.
