FM System

Since Hollister's hearing has gotten worse, his doctor suggested we get an FM system in place at school. It did take some work and us being patient, but he does have one in place now.




His teacher wears the microphone and fm system. We aren't completely sure if it is working yet. Hollister is having a hard time communicating if he hears differently with it. 

There are several factors involved here.
First, Hollister still has packing from his surgery in his ear. The last appointment we had, they said, we were about "half way there". Whatever that means.
Secondly, Hollister is due for an adjustment for his Baha. You would think this would be an easy endevaor. oh please, nothing is easy when it comes to this Baha!
We have to go to our original audiologist or pay $375 to the  new one because of insurance purposes.
This is not a big deal, our original one is in Austin. Making an appointment with her though has been comical. We had to make it 3 weeks out. Okay, no big deal, Hollister is hearing fine.

But seriously? Why does this all have to be so complicated?

Since it is the end of the school year, I will follow up when school begins again in August. We now also have a representative from our service center that is available to help with this kind of stuff. I feel confident that everything will all fall into place when it needs to.
