Today we went for Adrian’s first hearing aids fitting at the centre near Sick Kids. Because the hearing aid centre is specialized in dealing with kids, everyone including the fitting specialist is very patient & professional. He ran over the features, instructions, warranty and the return policy before showing us how to properly put them on Adrian’s ear. The hearing aids (Nios Mircos by Phonak) have been programmed using Adrian's latest audiogram as a guide which will help restore his high-frequency hearing loss due to chemotherapy. While we have been wondering how Adrian will be coping with the aids, he surprised us all! Not only did he cooperate and let us and the specialist keep on putting the aids on/off his ears, he even showed it off to Grandpa before dinner! But we don’t know how well he’s going to tolerate it in the days to come…

The entire set!




This teddy bear has hearing aids as well...
