Glue Ear
21/12/12
Ben went to have his hearing checked again towards the end of November and it was found that he now has ‘glue ear’ in both of his ears. He did have a bit of a cold at the time which may have contributed to this and the audiologist didn’t seem particularly worried as a lot of young children have this condition and then grow out of it. However, she did refer him to an ENM specialist at Derriford Hospital and he confirmed that it wasn’t too bad and no need to worry about it at the moment. Ben does have to go back in a few months for a check just to make sure it isn’t getting worse, but hopefully it will be OK!
