Audiology

So I wanted to make an appointment with a speech therapist as my bear is not as verbal as we would like him to be. Well of course they want to rule out things like Deafness before they try to get my child to mimic their language... so off we go to the Audiologist. Well my rock star child hears just fine! It really is amazing what modern medicine practices can do. First they put probes in his ears to make sure his drums are reacting the way they should to different volumes and pitches, then came the fun part. They put us (E bear in my lap) in a tiny sound booth and put headphones on him. Then they would talk to him thru one side and flip on a monitor when he looked to the right or the left. Well one time the left monitor kicked on and there were dancing hippos - Evan thought that was hysterical. So they turned off the monitor and tried to get him to look right - He did turn, but only to say "no! hippos please" and turn back to the left to wait patiently.
