DS is 4. Been to the hosp today to see consultant. DS is nasally, snores, breathes though his mouth, is constantly needing to blow his nose. Consultant says he has glue ear and probably enlarged adenoids. He's taken blood and had an x-ray and put him on a low dose anti-biotic for 6 weeks. Then we have to take DS for a hearing test and another consultation.
Consultant says DS is 30db down on his hearing according to his resonance tests BUT DS has shown absolutely no signs of deafness. He's at pre-school, they've not picked up anything. He doesn't need the tv loud, he speaks well, he responds when I speak, never says, "pardon" or "what did you say?". So how bad is 30db down? From what I googled it's not great but I can't understand why there are no signs of deafness.
Any ideas?
