Yesterday morning, I took Gavin to the rehab center for another hearing evaluation. He had one over the summer and didn't fully pass it. Most of it he did, but he didn't respond to the various tones. We weren't sure if he was just being stubborn or really couldn't hear. He was too young to tell.
Gavin was the cutest thing and a hit everywhere we went! He quickly got bored with the check in and couldn't wait to play with the toys. He talked the entire time whether anyone was listening or not. Then, he was a big boy and led us to each of the three rooms we went in. In the first room, they looked in his ears and at the actual structure of his ear. Everything looked great there. In the second room, Gavin sat at a little desk and the lady went in the other room. He could see her through the window and hear her through his headphones. He looked so darn adorable in those headphones! I wish I had my camera with me. She had laid out several objects on the desk and asked him to give me different things. The look on his face was priceless! He was probably thinking..."why am I doing this again?" He did great there, but when she had him focus on a book and respond to tones, he didn't do it. Occasionally, she would make a pooh doll light up and dance and he would say, "Pooh funny, she funny". Because he wasn't responding, we went into a third room. In the last room, he sat at another desk and she played a game with him. The lady told me that he may not be able to do it because of his age. Most 2 and 3 year olds struggle and he will just be two tomorrow. She was shocked and amazed and how well he did and how smart he was. She said over and over, "Mom you should be so proud, you have no idea how good this is" I was definitely proud of him! He did the whole test even though he was getting a little restless. Every now and then, he would look back to make sure I was still there. Thankfully, he passed all tests and we don't have to go back. Gotta love news like that!
