I think it is very interesting that I fought the hearing issues with almost
the exact opposite problems and results as you, Karen. As long as no
damage was done, in Morgan's case, it was a battle well fought and hard
won. And Morgan progressed so much after we took the hearing aids away, it
was quite amazing.
