Follow Up Hearing Test...fail...

Corgan went for his follow up hearing test today...The test performed is called an ABR and the results were that he has profound hearing loss in both his ears...the actual nerve seems to be the problem...Medication used at birth are a possible cause, and so are blood transfusions...Corgan will need hearing aids for both ears as well as ongoing treatments and therapies, such as speech therapy...I am feeling so upset...disappointed...my husband and I are both musicians and now we don't know if our son will be able to enjoy and appreciate music the way we do...I am also disappointed for Corgan...hasn't he had enough to deal with already and now he will have this to deal with for the rest of his life...we are thinking about going for a second opinion because a few people have suggested we should because they feel as though Corgan responds well when he hears something...
