25 decibels

Jonathan passed his follow-up hearing test this morning! We are thrilled! Turns out he just had some extra gunk in his right ear when they did the first screening in the hospital. This morning, the audiologist did two tests and they both showed that his ear is just fine! She started with 75 decibels in his ear, just to measure how much brain activity there was, and then worked down to a more normal level. She said most hospitals screen newborns at 35 decibels, and she went down to 25 decibels with Jonathan, and he was still able to hear that very well. We are thrilled with the results and so glad that this is over. Thank you for praying for our family!
