Getting help from Sensory Services for hearing loss?

[ListersSister]

My dd (Yr 2) has moderate conductive hearing loss in one ear, mild in the other. Her hearing goes from ok-ish to prtty bad. We are being referred to the Sensory Needs service and I wondered what they might be able to do/what their role is. Can anyone advise?

Lunchtime bump? Anyone know about Sensory needs? [smile}

Evening bump then? Pretty please?

Not sure what their role is but have popped in to say I'm profoundly deaf and do have experience of the whole hearing aid/tests thing...if you want any advice, ask away

Any advice other than sensory services that is...

Thanks PIJC - am loving the name .

We are fortunate that DD's hearing loss isn't severe. It does impact on her life though, but because it improves then worsens, then improves again, it has taken this long for anyone to believe she needs some input. She has had intermittent glue ear since she was 2 - she is now 7.

I get the impression that hearing aids won't really be an issue for dd, but it is more of a case of helping her make out the important noise from the general noise. As I understanbd it, nopise is muffled for her and hard to pick out individual sounds? She doesn't know people are speaking to her unless her name is called loudly, and she can't understad what they are saying unless she can see their mouth. This is obviously a problem in a noisy class of 30 and in the playground, swimming pool etc.

However, she is bright and doing well at school, so is very good at compensating for the loss and school therefore feel no need to worry...

Sorry, have rambled on. Thank you for your offer. I don't really know what I need to know I suppose, other than what Sensory Services can do lol!
