Hi,
Wondering if anyone has had similar experiences please as I am worried about dc's hearing.
DC is 10 weeks. Had 2 hearing tests at the screening centre which he failed as they could not get the appropriate responses from the ear bud placed in his ear. They thought this was because each time he had
Just got over a cold and may have had fluid in the ear. Was referred to audiology.
Audiology appointment also could not pick up what was required. They need repetitive samples and baby needs to be asleep.
Dc was settled for the most part but not asleep, then began stirring and sucking dummy which wasn't helping. They then checked ears for congestion and showed there is congestion in the ears. Dc has a cold currently so not a surprise. Needing to go for further testing next week:
I am now worried however as previously I thought they couldn't get the results needed due to the cold issue but audiologist said today even with the congestion the noise levels they were putting through the ear plug was higher than she expected to be needed. I've been told to go back for further testing but not told what this could mean.
Has anyone been in this position before and what was the outcome? I do have health anxiety and have gone straight to worst case scenario. I wasn't worried previously as dc appeaRed to jump at loud noises, turn head when I'm speaking, smile at clicking sounds but now I am second guessing it all.
