(oops had posted in chat)
DD was found to have mild hearing loss caused by glue ear, each test has been a flat loss below 35/ 40 hz.
It was diagnosed at 20 months at first, now at 26 months I've been told yet again to come back in three months after a third identical test. Said hospital doesn't do grommets until three, so monitoring it until then. Seems pointless even going! Might as well go back at 3 on their logic.
I'm upset at such a potentially long period of doing nothing as dd has near no language, understanding or speaking. I know it's more than the hearing loss that would cause such a big delay, but it can't be helping.
She's barely ever had a cold, let alone an ear infection, so I don't why it's been on so long. Surely there is a better approach though?
