Chance was diagnosed as severely to profoundly deaf at about 35 months old. It was determined that he went deaf at about 13 months of age. He received loaner hearing aids through the Utah School for the Deaf, and later we purchased top-of-the-line Widex PowerDiva hearing aids. We fought insurance all the way to the top to cover the hearing aids, but our insurance company called them "cosmetic", and "an educational issue". We have been fighting for about 18 months to get our current insurance company to cover a cochlear implant. They finally approved it, and his surgery will be on May 5.
Come back often to check on the his status and progress.
