hi, my 8 year old has had glue ear since she was tiny. she has had 2 operations which havent permanently fixed this and they wont do any more - we might have to get hearing aids. her speech is great, she does really well at school and is really happy at home. she struggles a bit with social skills, and can seem a bit "blank" with other adults and kids...i am worried this is starting to affect her ability to build friendships. she hasnt been invited to a couple of parties and i think she is struggling socially. she wont talk about anything to do with emotions or feelings. i have always thought that us just "her" but starting to worry more seriously. does anyone else have any experience of child with glue ear affecting friendships and ideas for how i can help her?
