Sign language
took it up last year when my daughter lost her hearing in her left ear
Why do you need to know sign language though AB? Has her right ear been affected as well? :(
she had a left radical mastoide ectomy
she has reduced hearing on her right ear
but if she gets a cold etc it gets worse
the infection she had was a CHOLESTEATOMA.
it took hold badly attached itself to the brains lining took part of her jaw and check bone also
so she has to have regular checks as the surgeons say it could come back
and thier is a possibilty of it effecting her right ear
The reason i took sign languge up was
When we were in hospital thier were loads of kids there that had lost all of thier hearing due to this
what happened to my daughter made me realise that if the infection came back i wanted to be able to talk to her through sign etc she is learning it with me also and doing a much better job i might add
