DS2 had his hearing test as a newborn and passed with no question marks.
DP announces yesterday in front of Mother, SIL and PILs he thinks DS2 can't hear very well. Mother then pipes up she thinks he's deaf in his right ear.
SIL jumps in with 'the rattle test' which she shook behind DS's head. He did seem to respnd more quickly when it was behind his left ear than his right.
He has been quite snotty for a few weeks (but not bothered by it) so I wonder if it is this. Mum mentioned glue ear?
Should I call HV and get her to have a look/refer him?
I don't want to panic about it but also don't want to leave unchecked a potential problem.
Is it likely he's gone deaf in one ear?
