Raphael had another Hearing test today called a "Hearing assessment using Auditory Brainstem Responses". Basically he was hooked up to a bunch of wires attached to his head and had a big set of headphones put on him and we then let him fall asleep in his pram. Then sounds were played through the headphones and the brain sensors looked for activity that coincided with the sounds. The findings of this test were that he had 40 decibel (db) hearing loss in one ear and 50db loss in the other. This effectively means that Raphael can probably hear us if we are sitting close and speaking in a reasonably loud voice.
