Hello everyone,
My son will be 2 in November.
I've had concerns about his speech for a while now. He says Mum, Dad and car. I do feel his understanding is brilliant. I did contact my health visitor team a month ago because he gets very frustrated trying to tell us something but they just said to wait for his 2 year check.
However I decided to see our GP as he has a lot of wax from both ears. Our GP looked in his ears and said there is a lot of wax, don't use cotton buds and she's given us drops. She then said about the possibility of glue ear. I haven't read about it as don't want to get ahead of myself/start diagnosing him with it myself. Our GP has left it that she will get back to me as she wasn't sure if she makes the hearing test referral or a health visitor
I'm just really interested in how they will perform a hearing test due to his age and at the moment he only says three words. He absolutely hates his ears being touched so I'm hoping they can do the full assessment. Has anyone been through this process?
Thank you all in advance!
