Mollie

 

Hearing:

Mollie was born with reduced hearing, because she has Auditiv Neuropati. Furthermore, Mollie has often had inflammation of the middle ear.

Initiative:

Mollie uses hearing aids. This allows her to be capable of hearing normal speech, and she almost has a normal linguistic understanding.  In order to reduce the amount of inflammation of the middle ear, we tried to give Mollie a flu vaccine in the winter of 2009/2010, and this turned out to be a good decision. Mollie hasn’t been sick since then.

6 years of age: Mollie no longer uses her hearing aids. She takes them off whenever we put then on her. It is our impression that Mollie understand everything that is being said to her, which can only lead to the conclusion that her hearing has markedly improved.
