DD3 has been referred for a hearing test by our GP. She's been pretty deaf for some months now (can't hear normal speech from a couple of metres away, nor a loud whisper/gentle talking from a few inches), after possibly perforating both ear drums (very very quietly- no apparent pain, no rubbing ears or complaining) in December. She's been speaking less clearly for a couple of months.
The other complication is that she was on Gentomycin for a week at birth. The GP was more than willing to refer her on that basis.
Does anyone have any notion of how long we can expect to wait? Also how do they test the hearing of a 3 year old?
