This morning, I took Kayla back in to the audiologist to do a little more testing in the higher range sounds. There was another audiologist there who helped out with Kayla in the sound booth, making things a little more fun.
Kayla and I went in to a sound booth with the one doctor and the other stayed in the other room. Kayla wore headphones and listed for high soft bird tweeting sounds. The doctor in the booth with us had a small hard foam square with holes in it. Each time Kayla heard a sound, she got to put a little peg toy into one of the holes.
Kayla did fantastic. She only missed a couple of super high soft sounds in her right ear, but it is nothing that is concerning. If hearing is affected by chemotherapy, the damage is first in the upper ranges, then in normal speaking ranges. Kayla did so well, that the audiologist did not think there had been any damage.
But, she does what Kayla to come back in two months, then again after her treatments are done, then again six months after and from then on once a year. Sometimes side affects don't present themselves until later, so she wants to keep an eye on it. Okay. . . another doctor to follow up with.
And that was that. The whole thing took about a half hour and we were on our way home. Miss Sadie slept the whole time, thankfully, and Benson was at another friend's house.
