Landon reacting to sound

This is a clip we had made of Landon reacting to sound. His brother Connor is the helper. It also shows Landon mimicking the AAhhh sound. Now he can mimic the Aahhh and Mmmm sounds in both long and short - Aaaahhhh and Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah. We've also noticed he has gotten a lot louder just in general these days. Whether he is making sounds playing or even his crying, he is definitely showing a difference with the implants on. In the morning before we put them on and in the evening after we take them off he becomes very quiet again.


We went for another mapping Thursday. We are going slower through these programs than the first time. With his first map we could go through all 5 steps on a program in a day and it wouldn't phase him. With this one, if we bump him too soon you can tell he gets a little agitated and fussy like it is bothering him. We have gone through program 1 and are almost done with program 2. We go back on Dec. 10 for his next mapping. She told us when we get those that it would be closer to his NRT (the testing they did in surgery). She will also do a booth test to see what levels he is hearing at.
