HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 25, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 @Sarwar kashem Welcome to HearPeers. When was your child activated with Rondo 2? I wish there was a magic ball that could answer your question. Unfortunately it varies. It is terrific that you are set up with auditory verbal therapy! How is that going?

Sarwar kashem Posted July 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Thanks for your reply. It's been 2 weeks since we have started therapy. I was wondering if there is any parents with auditory neuropathy child. The diagnosis is rare so we are worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are done with one rondo 2 implant. Our child is 2 years old. I'm asking how much time it requires to speak as auditory verbal therapy is ongoing. Hello Sarwar, our son has ASDN and now is 9 yo. He has a bilateral deficiency of cochlear nerve and got CI when he was 2,5 yo. It took us full 3 years of intensive listening and speech therapy (5 days a week) to see steady progress. We were taking him for these daily practices for 5 years and stopped when he enrolled school. Since initial prognoses were quite grim and ranged from, "he might be able just to hear some sounds but not develop speech understanding and producing" to "he might be able to develop high speech understanding and producing" - we are more than happy with the current outcome. Our son goes to the third grade of common school. He understands speech well (with certain limitations which I can tell you more about if you are interested in our experience) and also can speak understandably (with an accent like he is from a foreign country ). He likes to read a lot and has a rich vocabulary (reading is immensely important for kids with hearing loss, at least from my point of view). The point is, yes its quite rare condition and due to that fact could be even more challenging than in cases of other kids with hearing loss. Therefore, it's important to stay highly informed (what you are obviously already doing by participating in this forum), be realistic in expectations, but also be persistent and never stop believing in them and supporting them. Also, ANSD is so wide spectrum and each kid is specific so its healthy to avoid comparison to others and stick to your own road. I hope this helps a bit -it's challenging to write a short post on such a vast topic where each and every experience is different. If you think I could provide you with more info that might be useful do let me know, I will do that gladly. Wish you and your family all the best!
