Hi all, my ds who's 3,8 was diagnosed with bilateral glue ear just over a year ago. Since then the nhs have taken a watchful waiting approach until finally his recent hearing test showed further reduced hearing in both ears. He now has an appointmebt with ENT in may with a view to fitting grommits and possibly removing adenoids.
His hearing problem has had a dramatic impact on his speech and he is way behind his peers at nursery in his language, he has a good range of vocab but is very hard to understand unless you know him. He can also play up at nursery when it comes to group activities and sitting/listening for long, and he finds it hard socially to mix in groups with other kids. Hes ok one to one or in small groups or with kids he knows well.
Im hoping these issues might resolve themselves once his hearing is clearer but im looking for advice/input from parrnts who's dc's had similar and how things went?? Thanks.
