Booth Testing

Logan sees his Audiologist to MAP (program them to to fit his needs) his equipment every couple months to make sure he is getting the maximum benefit from his equipment. We also see her to go into the sound booth and test the MAPs to make sure he is still responding appropriately with his new programs.

I've been wanting to post some videos of Logan's Sound Booth testing for a very long time, but I always seem to forget about actually recording a session until it is almost over.  Luckily, last week our wonderful Parent Infant Advisor recorded it for us and gave us the video! And of course, he wasn't as cooperative as he usually is this time.  He must have known I wanted to share this with you.

This video is the part of the testing where he was actually cooperating some.  We have taught him to hold up a toy (in this case, a puzzle piece) to his ear and listen for a sound. When he hears the sound, he puts the puzzle piece in the puzzle, or for other toys, he may be instructed to drop it in a bucket, etc. 

He kept trying to distract us from what we were doing, and at one time, he kept pointing to where Marci, his Audiologist sits just outside the booth, and saying that she was hiding.

But the thing that really had him distracted was a cupcake puzzle that he absolutely loves.  Every time we are at our appointments at Sunshine Cottage he looks for this toy and does not want to let it go. Every time he was asked to put the cupcake down when he heard the sound, he would not. And at one point, he was even holding 4 cupcakes up to his ear!

 I will try to capture some more video of him when he actually participates more.
