proverbs 3 hi ,
i have been profoundly deaf since my early twenties. my deafness was caused by otoslerosis (sp!) it is hereditary and deafness is caused, in part by pregnancy hormones.
i also have no high frequency hearing . losing high frequencies means you can hear drum bass in music . brum brum brum!!!! my oldest son drives me mad with his music arrghhhh!!!! your daughter should also be able to hear motor engines etc.
if you can get one and her hearing loss is not too severe a digital aid is very very good . unfortunately my hearing loss is too great.
sign language would probably make things easier for all of you if her hearing loss is going to be very severe. i don't sign myself but i would love to be able to.
incidently i work part-time at the checkout in a major uk food retailers and i have a sign letting my customers know about my hearing loss. the amount of deaf people that pass through my till every day is astounding. your daughter will not be alone in her hearing loss<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
please let us know how she gets on with her hearing aid

Yes, going to see a pediatric audiologist is a good idea. However, keep in mind that many audiologists are anti-sign language because there is still a lot of misinformation regarding ASL and the delay of a spoken language.
Basically, keep your options open. Keep using ASL and go an oral route too, if that gets recommended. In the end you and your child will end up using whatever communication form is easiest and most effective; and that's only going to HELP.

This happened to me too but with Amikacin IV. I did have hearing aids for a while. They worked great and I was happy with them. I'm not sure if insurance covered or not. I was young then so I don't remember. I had to stay on the Amikacin for a long time so over time I eventually lost all my hearing. I have only learned a little bit of sign language. I'm going to continue to learn more this year. Right now I depend mostlty on lip reading and finger spelling. I wish I could hear again too. It stinks. I miss music and dancing!
