They have made this issue public now. They also seem to be ignoring this issue. People with experience in hearing loss/speech language delays are concerned about Addie and offer advice. This is not rude. Going up to a stranger and giving advice would be rude. People don't consider the Bates family strangers as they see them weekly on tv.

Addee wasn't the focus of the blog post or UP video and was in the clip for a few seconds. A short comment like the one posed above can come across as critical of Kelly Jo and Gil for perceived inaction. One thing we do know is that the Bateses have known that Addee had hearing loss since she was a young child, as it is mentioned in an ABC news article. It's their business, and Addee's private medical information, about how they have helped her adapt and have treated associated conditions. <br />I better understand why the question was asked after reading the question within the poster's personal context, though do think that the question is out of place in this thread.

That little boy not only started talking, but he is a college graduate working as a research and deveopment scientist.

My son had auditory impairment issues when he was younger, and he benefited greatly with help from an audiologist and speech therapist. I just wanted to make sure Addallee's parents were addressing her issues and getting her the help she needs. Some parents think they can help their kids themselves, when they really need a professionals help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-87295670941398502092018-07-27T10:27:33.659-05:002018-07-27T10:27:33.659-05:00I agree it would be good for Addie to see a certif...I agree it would be good for Addie to see a certified audiologist. People with hearing loss can struggle with so many areas if such things aren't diagnosed early enough. I would hesitate to diagnose her just based on her speech patterns from the show, but a full developmental, speech and language evaluation would be key to making sure she is able to hear and communicate effectively.
