Appointment with the Ear/Nose/Throat Dr.
I took Jason in to the specialist to get his ears checked out. Why does it seem mandatory that you sit in the waiting room for 30 minutes and then another 30 minutes waiting in the room for the doctor?
Anyways, the prognosis. The ear drum in his left ear is sunken in farther than normal. So he probably isn't hearing as well in that ear. The dr. said the pressure in the ear should be around -100 and Jason's is -250 in that ear drum. He probably has 5-10% hearing loss, but that can be reversed. In a week Jason will get tubes put in his ears. They will also look at his adenoids in surgery and those might come out also due to the constant runny nose he seems to have. I am really hoping that these will help with the problems he has and hopefully get to looking a lot healthier. I can see it in his eyes when he is sick! I'm also hoping his speech will improve with this surgery. They will do a hearing test when the tubes come out. Hopefully this winter we aren't going to the dr. as much as last!
