Maybe next week will be the week...

It looks like we have been reassigned and the program director of CHS has taken our case. She has been out of the office for a week so this explains last week's continued delay with the new aid. Maybe this upcoming week will be the week when everything falls into place. From what I understand, CHS must get a denial from our insurance company regarding hearing aid coverage. I was told by our very first service coordinator that all they needed was a verbal denial but it appears that this is no longer true and there must be a written denial (and I hear that this is a new rule imposed by the state). From what I have learned from a Yahoo group for parents of children with hearing loss, hearing aids are denied by insurance companies everywhere and across the board. Seems silly to need a written denial for something that insurance companies are known to deny.

The Dora doll has made all of the difference. Lily has consistently worn her aid since Dora joined the household. She has even asked to wear her aid a couple of times! Maybe she is starting to realize that she has been missing out all this time...
