[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 508346, member: 11847"] Hi, my son has a slight hearing loss uncovered before Xmas. We just did surgery (cut adenoids which were pushing into ears and second set of ear tubes). We go for a follow up on Monday and will find out if the hearing loss is still there. His Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) also believes he has Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) and will start working on compensatory techniques (body position, lip reading, visual cues, etc...). So although nothing is definite in my son's case, I firmly believe (so does his Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)) that it affects every aspects of his life including behavior. I am trying to teach him to tell us when he does not hear or can't make sense of what he heard. But even that is hard, V does not realize he does hear right (whatever the reason hearing loss, Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) or both). That is all he knows. Does Brownie have a speech therapist? Private or through the school, it would probably really help to find one. I don't have a magic formula, but try to not forget about his hearing loss when he misbehave. Try to think "ok, maybe he did not hear something or heard it wrong, let's rephrase, make him repeat to make sure he got it right". [/QUOTE]
