Hello, my daughter age 6 has moderate- severe sensory- neural loss, she wears bilateral aids. She is a fairly confident character and despite the ongoing problems with school I've posted about before she's progressing pretty well at school.
The problem is she misheard a lot of things and will not accept it when I tell her the correct pronunciation. It's frustrating for us both. This morning she said to me " mummy did you know that the plague caused death, like me I'm death" me " no honey you're deaf, not death" but she can't hear the difference, she was adamant that the two words are the same just spelt differently like their and there. I tried to explain I was just trying to help but she's very stubborn and it ended up with her yelling " I am death, you don't know anything, I am death" all the way to school which was funny and frustrating all at once!
Has anyone had this problem how can I help her? I don't want her friends laughing at her for getting things wrong, on one particularly memorable occasion she sang loudly about " cockers" not cockers in church :)
