DD going to have her hearing aid moulds taken this week. What should we expect? What will they do? Is there anything we should ask? Thanks.

That's it really.

When they told us 6 weeks ago that she'd need hearing aids I was shocked into saying no more than

"Ok, that's great. Well thank you very much" and "no, no questions" when asked.

The only thing we can think of at the moment is about the Teacher of the Deaf. Do they automatically make a referral is there anything that we have to do? How long should we wait? Will they do a home visit or just contact school?

I've read the leaflets from NDCS from cover to cover again and again but I'm still not clear on how things happen.

When they talk about radio aids, does that include hearing aids, or are they discrete pieces of kit?

Ta very much for any knowledge you can impart. x

Hi there,

We've moved this one to Special Needs: Children now.

Best of luck to the OP and her DD.
