Although this appointment was initially for Jonica, Jarrah actually took most of the time :-) ENT looked in Jonica's ears, was satisfied that she was fine to receive hearing aids & wrote a letter to that effect. Easy, done.
Jarrah, however, is always a puzzle :-) We really don't know why his ears keep blocking up, but the reason is really less important than the solution. In consultation with our ENT, we've decided to have J's grommets replaced - a new grommet placed in the right ear and the left grommet renewed - with the aim of giving him the best possible access to sound as soon as possible. He just seems to be susceptible to upper respiratory problems, so we have to do our best to keep him as well as possible. New grommets will go in on Wed 8th December, just in time for summer...
Given that we were all in the city for this appointment, that Daddy works in the city these days, and that our ENT was running distinctly late, we decided to visit Daddy and have lunch together. Daddy works near the Botanic Gardens so we went and got sushi, found a nice park bench to eat on, then the boys had a play on a playground. It was nice to have an impromptu picnic lunch together, then it was nice to get everybody home and have a good sleep :-)
Next appt: Mon 15th Nov - Jonica's 6wk check-up with Paediatrician, & hearing aid fitting @ Aus Hearing

Does Jarrah eat dairy? It's a common trigger for over-production of mucus which may be affecting his ears.
