My DS (19mths) has been seeing an ENT specialist since he was 9 mths old because of repeated ear infections and glue ear.
He had a hearing test finally 2 days ago and one ear is now back to normal but the other is not (ie glue ear has persisted) and he has very little hearing in it.
He is not speaking very much (he says about 8-10 words eg cat, car, tractor) and when we ask him to point at pictures in books he knows about 60 words.
Any experience from anyone else on this. Basically specialist has told us to wait another 6 months and do another test. Do you think that having hearing in one ear only is enough to learn to speak properly?
