Thank you both for replying. And thanks very much, silverdaze, for offering help with further queries - I may well come back to you...

Hello, I'm not actually in East Dulwich, but nearby (Crofton Park), so hope it's okay to post here, as it seems to be one of the most active forums in the wider area. My three-month-old (second) baby was born with Microtia and Atresia, and will be getting his first hearing aid next week. I was wondering if... - anyone knows of any local groups for parents of children with these conditions / hearing impairment (I've tried making contact though the LDCS website, but no reply, so not sure if that's currently active)... - anyone reading this has a baby / child with a hearing impairment and can offer advice (if the child is older) or wants to compare notes (if the baby is a similar age)...the system has been a nightmare so far and I'd really like to know what other people are accessing in terms of support / checks / services... - anyone has any other pointers / comments / advice (still all very new so don't even know properly what I should be after, if that makes sense!) Thanks a lot, Tammy
