We have a 4-year-old son who was recently found to have "mild" hearing loss in both ears. They think it was caused by gunk in his ears, althoug he has never complained of an earache. I first noticed him asking us to repeat ourselves over a year ago, but we thought it was just a phase. Our pediatrician repeatedly dismissed our concerns, and we finally had him tested at an ENT clinic. The doctors have recommended having tubes put in for drainage and the adenoids removed. I think that the hearing loss has affected his behavior and his interactions with other kids. I'm hoping that the drainage will help his hearing, but I'm curious if there are any ideas for how to help him recover behaviorally (and with his language). He also seems to be regressing lately, and very dependent on me (his mother and often his interpreter). It's all so new to us and we'd love any advice on how to work with him. Anne IP: Logged |
