Ds (just turned 3) has been to Audiology this morning for a follow up hearing test due to concerns I've had. His hearing is fine (although selective at times like it can be with toddlers ) but I was concerned as when we went in Jan, they told us to come back in 3 months for another check as certain things they wanted to see if improved.
Been back today and they've now referred him to Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist and a hearing assessment. On the form I have for today it says this:
Mild/Moderate hearing loss in left ear
Evidence of Middle Ear Effusion in left ear
Evidence of Eustachian Tube dysfunction (rb)
When we went in Jan I asked what sort of things they are looking out for and he said it's nothing to worry about but they do certain checks to make sure he doesn't have Glue Ear. After today's visit, I had a look at my childrens medical book under Glue Ear (as being referred) and some of this sounds like what's on this form.
I'm hoping it's not Glue Ear as I don't like the sound of what they have to do to treat it. Should I be worried or could it be something totally different?
Just wondering if anyone else's child has been referred for something similar and if so, what was the outcome???
Thanks :)
