Well after pushing for my son to get a hearing test. We have found out that he has glue ear in both ears. He has hearing loss -50 in this right and -40 something in his left. He also had a pressure test, this test sees how well your ear drum is working, which came back as a flat line on both sides. Normally it will go up and then come down.
So what do you think the doctor is going to do about it...
...NOTHING for three months.
This has been going on for almost a year. I know all about glue ear which is why I waited 9 months before seeing my GP about his hearing. Then it took three months to get an appointment to see the docs at ENT.
The doctor did say he would need gromits and most likely a hearing aid! So why make me wait!!! He should be on the waiting list for the operation.
Well I can tell you I was not happy so I made an appointment with my GP. After seeing the GP we now have to wait for another two weeks as there is nothing she can do until the letter from the hospital comes through to them. If the letter says that we have to wait my GP will call the consultant in charge and tell them I am not happy to have my son wait.
This is affecting his balance and he keeps falling over. Currently my son is sporting a nice black eye from the latest fall.
I am now going to start writing a list of how meny times he is falling over and if it has resulted in an injury. Then present it to the doctor and see what they say then!
Will blog again when something happens.
