Hearing test results

[Sunstreaks1704]

Hi.

My son has recently had an audiology test due to delayed speech. My husband took him to the appointment and typically didn't get a good understanding of his level of hearing. We are having to go back in a couple of weeks, but can anyone interpret these for me?

This should give your post a hopeful bump.

Roughly I think they are saying that there was nothing abnormal seen, but there was not much response to noises in a particular frequency. However he was very wriggly and so it may just have been he wasn't concentrating.
So they'd like to try again.

The OEA test, I think is for glue ear. With ds when his glue ear was bad, it would be flat, but they like to see a nice spike. They got a good result in one ear so unlikely to have glue ear in that ear.

How old is her? Ds had his first hearing test at about 18 months, and he wasn't very interested in it. He was far more interested in the bus he had to play with, but they are quite unreliable at that age.

When ds got to about 3yo they got very good at making it fun, and he'd really listen for the sound so he could press the button. They'd tell him he was flying a plane and when he heard the noise he had to press the button so they could do the drop. Those were much more accurate.

Hiya.

Thanks for responding. He's 2 years old (just turned)

Hubby said he was fine at the start of the test but either lost interest or couldn't hear toward then end.

He has a lot of nasal congestion, snores etc all of the time as well. My gut is saying it's all connected. Just wasn't sure what 'congested' meant I terms of ears

Regretting not taking him myself!

Mention the snoring, that might be relevance as it was something we were asked.

At that age it is difficult to get an accurate test. They know they can be wriggly, and do their best.

I would say glue ear in left and possibly in right but not confirmed

Thank you. I think this is the conclusion I came to. Hopefully find out to what extent its affecting his hearing as that's what I'm worried about!
