Ds is 8, diagnosed with glue ear aged 1. He has had 2 sets of grommets which worked well while they were in but the last lot only stayed in for 6 months which was less time than the waiting list for the operation. After a lot of faffing around and more waiting, Ds got his hearing aids today. They are AMAZING. Ds has been walking around the house, telling me excitedly that he can hear his footsteps. I'm so pleased for him and I just want to shout it from the rooftops.
