The Pediactricians were a little concerned when Emma failed her hearing test in her left ear twice. I wasn't there for the tests but apparently they use some sort of device that shoots sound waves or something in the ear and it then measures what goes thru and what doesn't. After the first time they told us to use mineral oil to clean the excess wax out of her ear but she still failed when they tested her again. They then suggested we use Debrox to clean out her ear. They referred us to an ENT to see if there was something more than just wax build-up causing her to fail the tests. I guess those last drops must have worked or our Pediatrician really messed up the test because the ENT said that not only could Emma hear but she was off the charts. She has exceptionally good hearing and passed all the tests in both ears!!
Due to Matthew's history and the fact that the test at the Pediatrician was inconclusive for his hearing, we went ahead and had him checked at the ENT too. He was so good to listen to what the doctors asked him to do. Ben asked him if he was having fun and he replied "No......mean", but he seemed to enjoy the little games they used to test what he could hear. They told us that Matthew passed all the tests and that he was one of the best behaved 2-year olds that they've ever seen.
It was another good week with good news from the doctors. One more important visit coming up and then I might be able to breathe a little easier again. I am definitely relieved that their hearing is okay because now I know for sure that they can hear me every time I tell them "I LOVE YOU!". Which is very very very often.
