Jarrah has been recruited to a longitudinal study being done by the National Acoustic Laboratory, which is the research arm of Australian Hearing. The study is called LOCHI, or Learning Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairments, and aims to study exactly that.
Various things seem to happen as part of that study, and i can never quite tell what's coming next. The most recent thing to happen is the trial of a new hearing aid, and Jarrah has been chosen as part of the test group to receive these new hearing aids. They have amazing white-man-magic features, and it's going to be really interesting to see how he goes with them, but the most exciting thing is that we decided to depart from the traditional beige...and go for giraffe prints!
J knows he has giraffes on his ears, but i'm not sure that he's quite as excited about them as i am :-) They're bronze with white patterns, and i think they're really cute! At least i won't have to write the boys' initials on their units anymore... :-)
