I was pretty unwell on this day, so my parents kindly stepped in to take Jarrah to this appointment. Apparently he did well, he's now old enough to do Play Audiometry testing, which is where he performs some action when he hears a sound - in this case, drop a marble into a marble race.
J still has a grommet in his left ear, and the results on that side were consistent with previous testing. The grommet came out of his right ear about 12 months ago and there was some concern back in August that his middle ear might be blocking up again. We saw our ENT in August who suggested that if his right ear was still blocked at this November test, we should return.
*Sigh*, time to call the ENT again.
Turns out J's right ear is still blocked, his eardrum isn't moving at all which indicates fluid build-up behind the eardrum, which translates into a conductive loss compounding the underlying loss. This means that even with his hearing aid he's still not hearing at optimal levels.
Fortunately, our next appointment on the calendar is...with our ENT! Jonica needs to get medical clearance from an ENT to receive her hearing aids, so as soon as Jarrah got home i rang the ENT and was able to get Jarrah in with her appointment. Let's see what happens...
Next appt: Fri 12th Nov - ENT for Jonica (& now Jarrah!)
