Our HV and I have been trying to organise a referral for audiology/SaLT for my 2.1 yo DS for a few weeks. She's helpful but we don't have a date yet, and it all seems to be very slow - she sends faxes/emails and leaves messages but nothing seems to happen. And when we get a date eventually it is unlikely to be immediately.
I'm can get a private audiology assessment with chears this week. It just seems that if there is a problem, we'll have skipped a step, and saved everyone precious time. But does anyone have any experience of whether NHS audiology/SaLT are happy to work with the results of a private hearing test? So far DS's care has been quite joined up (he's also had physio/paed appointments), and I don't want to jeopordise that. Any thoughts?
