James did a great job with the behavioral hearing test today. They were able to get a lot of good information, and it looks like he has what they would classify as a mild to moderate hearing loss. He hears reasonably well (although not perfectly) at lower pitches and his hearing gets progressively worse at higher pitches (so, at the highest level they tested he's hearing at around the 70 db level). So, he'll be getting hearing aids to help bring his hearing up to normal levels.This is about what we expected or maybe even a bit better than we expected -- we were confident that he was hearing some things, but we also knew that he wasn't always hearing softer sounds, and didn't react to sound as much as Matthew does.
More details later.

And in every picture you see of James, he seems like, who me, problems, I laugh at problems!
They are so precious!
