[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 605425, member: 14557"] Susie: I too had heard about this issue with people using old hearing aids. I remember well, when I was a kid and older relative got her first hearing aid. She complained a lot how all background noise was so loud and how difficult it was to understand speech because of that. She also only used the hearing aid few hours a day, because it was so taxin g and if she had to use it all day, she was totally exhausting. Still I hadn't heard of this phenomenon existing with people with perfect hearing. Remembering that great-aunt also makes me wonder, how much my son's issues may have been about exhaustion and frustration. I mean, it has been countless fights even at home about 'Why didn't you do as I told?', 'You haven't said anything!', 'Yes I did, several times', 'I haven't hear anything', 'Don't BS me' etc. And even more outside of home. Being often in trouble even when trying your best has to be extremely demoralising. In fact local explanation of ODD tends to be, that it is the situation that develops when child is often/all the time asked to do things they are not capable and as a reaction they develop oppositional attitude to everything. So if this most of the time helps difficult child to be wilfully and stubbornly oppositional only when he actually wants to be oppositional, I will be extremely happy. And yeah, language barrier may indeed buy him some extra tolerance and that could help. Language barrier with team mates also gives him social acceptable explanation why he isn't exactly 'one of the guys.' difficult child likes also his on company so he may indeed be happy with less actual socialisation when it also means the expectations of him being social are lower. And now it even seems he an his room mate may come along well enough. Well, at least they are already fighting like brothers and still like to also do things together. [/QUOTE]
