bzylzy, my DS has a very good friend with the same auditory deficit your daughter has. She has learned sign language and communicates with that in noisy situations. My son is currently learning ASL so they can communicate better in noisy situations like noisy college student church services. I guess her whole family learned to sign and it takes some of the anxiety out of those situations.

Also, I don't know how long DGS has complained about the hearing. He is my grandson and hasn't lived with me his whole life. Also, it seems to be getting worse lately. So , we will wait to see what the audiologist says.
