Thank you ladies! I guess we will go with the ABR test for now, but I like the idea of headphones to "play" with so she is use to them. She too has gone from normal, to mild to low moderate the last time we could test her about 1 year ago...better to know than not! I appreciate your help!

Good morning! We have a challange here. Damara has "failed" her hearing test at school. No big surprise to me, I know she just wouldn't/ couldn't do it the way the administer it. So anyway, we took her to a new ENT, they had to refer us out. We went to this new Audiologist and Damara would NOT cooperate and therefore, we could not get her tested. So she suggested a test that they will sedate her and do the whole sound wave thing..Sorry, I have forgotten the name of the test...I was wondering have any of you dealt with this difficulty of testing for hearing and what seemed to be best. I hate to sedate her if we don't have to...but she is just not cooperating...GRRR..please let me know..we are calling the ENT back tomorrow and thought if we had some ideas that would be great! Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone...It seems that Damara will do things at school that she NEVER does at home. Tough to disapline her for something she does 5 hours before she ever gets home. The other day the teacher sent home a note stating that Damara said SHUT UP to a child. Now, I was thinking...WOW...she can say that? Then I thought...she has never said this before, she can't seem to say SHUT the door...so we started thinking...her version of Chocolate sounds alot like shut up to the untrained ear...we called the teacher the next day to explain this and she told us this story... Damara was in class and another student was being loud, so she SHHHH'd him...then he got louder...she shhhhhh'd him again, he again got louder and at that point she turned to him and according to the teacher, as clear as day said "SHUT UP!"... I gotta say...I did NOT go over board with that disapline. Why did they allow the other child to continue to be disruptive and then disapline Damara for responding? She tried twice to get him to stop in a nice way! Too bad for them...I say ...Let him have it if they aren't going to do something about it.!

We are trying something a little new with Damara at school. She was having "sad days" making sad choices or sad behavior...anyway, by the time she got home from school and we would read the report, there was no connection to her with us talking to her and her actions of the day...so, we started with a 8x10 photo of a Sad Face, straight face and happy face. So...depending on what type of day she has she will place that face in her folder. She has really caught on with the concept of a sad face equals= lecture from M&D, no Elmo, boring snack etc...Happy face equals= Great joy from M&D, all the ELMo she wants and Ice cream for snack! Well, the problem is that she is having ALOT of sad days. She is constantly running from the teacher/aide in the hallways, or backtalk to the teacher... It is breaking my heart, she will call me at work when she gets off the bus, and I can tell by the tone of her voice what kind of day she had. She will whine with a sad face day, and giggle with a happy face day. It doesn't seem to be working as far as changing her behavior, it is making a connection though...I'm not sure if we are doing her any favors...I guess it is just so darn heart breaking hearing her voice and have her so sad....But she just doesn't switch her behavior.. I guess I'm wondering the opinions of some of you moms/dads of older children...what have you tried to help with correcting behavior that you don't see because it is only displayed at school and addressing the events of the day. Damara is only 5 and still not understandable(alot to say we just dont know what she is saying)...and we still cannot hold a conversation with her... Just need some support and maybe a much better idea???
