DEZA’RAYMy Hearing Journey

HI, I’M DEZA’RAYThis is my hearing journey.

MY FIRST HEARING AIDSI got to borrow a set of loaner hearing aids so I could hear at school!

Everyone was so excited I could finally hear in class!

MY LOANER HEARING AIDS

AT THE EAR DOCTOR’S OFFICEThe day I got my new hearing aids I had an appointment with Dr. Albert, my ENT.

He said my eardrums haven’t healed yet—but I do a great job of taking care of them and keeping them clean.

FINALLY,I GET MY NEW HEARING AIDS!!I decided to go with the zebra print hearing aids…and they come with stickers so I can change the design.

My ear-molds are purple and blue swirled.

MY EDUCATIONAL AUDIOLOGISTDr. Carrie Spangler is my Educational Audiologist. She has helped me along my hearing journey.

Dr. Carrie has hearing aids too!

I EXPLORED MY WORLD WITH DR. CARRIEWhile exploring…..I found out that I have the most trouble hearing during floor time (teacher talking and the whole class is sitting on the floor), when people are making noise, and sometimes on the playground….

We are going to work on self advocacy strategies to help me!
