Hi Katie, so was your unilateral hearing loss first diagnosed at year 5? Our son was diagnosed at birth and is in reception now. (5 yrs old) The general line from the audiologists seem to be he should be able to get through life unaided. He seem to be doing well so far in that environment with no aid but as ever we wonder if he would be doing even better if aided with something like CROS. We suspect it will become more of an issue as he gets older. Interested to hear our experiences through these ages up to 17.

Raj Patel Katie was diagnosed as a baby - she just didn't get her bone-anchored hearing aid until year 5. If you would like to talk to someone about your son's hearing loss our Helpline would love to speak to you and can put you in touch with our audiologist. You can call them on 0808 800 8880, email them at helpline@ndcs.org.uk or speak to them online via our live chat facility: www.ndcs.org.uk/family_support/how_ndcs_can_help/support_and_advice/index.html

i love these stories, but im insanely jealous. no one ever told my mom i had microtia and atresia, we literally figured it out by going to the library and researching on free time. and when im finally able to speak for myself to doctors and such, they all just bounce me to appointments that take months to schedule at a time where they do nothing and send me right back where i started. im extremely irritated at the lack of information or "help" ive gotten from doctors who are too busy to even tell me what's wrong. uGH

Wow - that is really poor, so sorry you and your mum haven't had the support you needed! Do you live in the UK? If so, our website has lots of information - including how to get support in the UK. It's a bit on the old side, so we apologise! We are currently developing a new one: www.ndcs.org.uk/family_support/how_ndcs_can_help/index.html
