Simon had his first hearing test post-Implant. He goes into a sound-proof room and sits on Tara's lap, and a helper comes along to play with toys and keep him focused. The audiologist sits in the adjoining room and watches through a window; she plays different pitches, types, and volumes of sounds. If Simon looks to the side when she plays the sound, it activates a toy or the TV. Simon looks around a lot, so it's a little challenging, but it's also pretty clear when he's heard the sound. There's a cute part where he waves at the audiologist through the window.
Our son Simon was born deaf, and has bilateral Cochlear Implants. He received his first just after turning two years old, and his second a year later.
