Good News
Ben had his cochlear implant checked and no new electrodes need turned off. GREAT NEWS! His audiologist spent an hour checking every electrode via the computer and then manually while we watched how Ben responded. Based on those responses, we made some minor tweaks - mostly having to do with bringing down the high frequency threshold. And since the appointment, Ben has been wearing his implant while turned on during all waking hours. The timing is perfect too because Ben's last day of school is tomorrow and they have a choir assembly put on by the high school students to attend. Now he will be able to hear it and enjoy it!

YEAH Ben!!!! I'm so glad you don't have to have another surgery to fix your implant. Congrats on wearing it too and hope you enjoy the concert tomorrow :) Santa left you something under my tree, I'll get it to you before the big day.
