This is her story

This is the story of Kairi Yen Nguyen. Kairi was born with severe/total hearing impairment. I am keeping this web log for her so that she and others can share in the journey that her life will have to take with this condition.

Kairi's Activation

Kairi was Activated on June 13th.

The audiologist activated Kairi with the HiRes Fidelity 120 programming.

The initial response, was no visible response. The computer told us that she was hearing and the Dr explained that this is what they were expecting. They want her to gradually work her way up and progress slowly at first. I recorded a video, which you can use mostly to listen to the Audiologist explaining things. It may be helpful for you.

Our EI adviser joined us for this visit.

Awwwwh! She looks like such a happy baby :) Believe it or not this is common because they take it easy with the volume with children as opposed to adults who can tell them to crank it up :)

I want to suggest that you stop by my blog and watch my activation video that is captioned. It has many tips and tricks that as a mother you can learn about the mapping process.

Since you also have Advanced Bionics, you can come to Hearing Journey which is the online support group for AB users. There is several mothers on there that you can connect with other mothers and cochlear implant users. I hope to see you around and I will be following Kairi's journey as well :)
