After 2 visits and about 5 hours of testing, the results are in from the Audiologist.
Bilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Put in plain English, both ears have "nerve deafness". This is the most common type of hearing loss that accounts for 90% of all hearing loss. If you want to find out the details of
this type of hearing loss, visit www.dizziness-and-balance.com This site offers great information about how our ears work and about deafness.
Every test that the audiologist threw at Kairi was met with the same results, "No Response". Every frequency was tested with the same "No REsponse". The audiologist even tried increasing the decibels to a above the safe level (90 dB)...not even a flinch from Kairi. 90dB would be comparable to a lawnmower. Not loud you say? Try putting the lawnmower in your ear.

We at The Hearing Fix hate to read about these devastating stories. While our product can do nothing for Kairi, we do urge everyone out there who exposes themselves to loud noises to protect there hearing with The Hearing Fix
