My two youngest children (N, 9 & M, 5) have AB CIs. I feel that we are adrift and don't know where to go for specific advice. Nether of our children seem to be able to wear ear level CI, they fall off and are so expensive that it makes us nervous to let them wear them to school. Our insurance won't cover a 2nd. We don't know where to go for extra speech therapy and it is so expensive! We are currently driving 1 hour to the University of Utah. To get the CIs mapped we need to drive 3 hours to see Dr. C P. Dr. C S and his office have not been very helpful or responsive. The Utah School for the Deaf and Blind is a bureaucratic quagmire and also don't provide services since our children are no longer in their system. We do not live in an isolated area. I look forward to hearing from someone soon. My mobile number is ... and our home number is ... . Thank you for your attention, H
