Hearing-aid step 1 The Mold

Today was the post op apt wit Dr Perkins. He checked her ears to make sure that the ear drum healed and was happy to see that it did! Se still has fluid in both ears but he is NOT going to attempt anther ear tube. After another hearing evaluation her ear was molded for the ear piece for her hearing aids. They did a speech test on each ear and we could see her frustration when they tested her right ear. She got flustered started raising her voice. She was very nervous about having her ear molded but after feeling so frustrated with not being able to hear during the speech part of the test she agreed to try to let them do the mold. She was so cute asking questions about how it was going to feel and at one point sighed and said "oh good, cause I was really worried about that hurting!" She did a great job having her ear molded too!

They gave her a lot of choices in the color of the ear piece. She could choose a color up to three color swirl and then any glitter type they had so many choices (multi- color,pink, silver, stars ect) She chose a clear piece with a pink swirl and multicolored glitter! She is getting so big! Her ear piece will be ready in a few weeks and then she will go have a hearing aid fitting and get a trial hearing aid to use before we order her one. Oh and they have lots of color options for those too! lol! She is happy that she can "show off her style" and we are happy that she will be able to hear better!

putting the goo in her ear to make the mold

mold drying there is a sponge in her ear canal and a string attached to help pull the mold out when it is done. It took about 5-10mins total for the mold to be made.
