My little 2 1/2 year old DCG girl is returning to me tomorrow after the summer off. We knew there were some issues with hearing and over the summer she's been tested and has been given hearing aids. I'm going over to their house tonight for a little lesson in hearing aids as I've never dealt with them. Has anyone had a child with one? My concern, actually is other children (or her) trying to pull them out (I can envision someone chomping down on one!). Her type has a string attached to each that clips to her shirt (so that if they get pulled out, they don't get lost)...and, I'm pretty sure some little one is going to be pulling on the string.
