Hearing Impairments

My DD did not pass hear new born hearing screening. and has had two ABRs confirming a mild hearing loss, but she does have OEA's present. She does have hearing aids now and We have noticed a big differentce in her. She is always happy and smiling but with her aids its more and she does not startle nearly as much

I gues my question is what does this mean for her futrure hearing? Will it get better worse or stay?

DH has a mild/moderate loss from birth found at age 4 had hearing aids but gets by OK with out them and did not like them as a teen. I have a hearing loss on the left side found at age 18, my mother has a moderate loss both sides found at age 60 my gradfather was deaf in one ear my grandmother had one hearing aid my cousins son has/ had hearing aids, my 1/2 brother had hearing aids hole in the eardrum drum?? moderate/profound loss?

Hi and Welcome!

If your dd's hearing was diagnosed as sensory neural (nerve deafness) then this hearing loss will never get BETTER!  It may progressively get worse, but only time will tell.  If her loss is conductive in nature, there may be a possibility of improvement, but I doubt the audiologist would have prescribed an aid for a fluctuating conductive loss.

Hope this helps, and keep us updated. HUGS,
