ENT Appointment

We spent 2 hrs at Avery's appt yesterday at Children's Mercy. They sent us down to have her hearing retested first since it had been over 6 months since the last test. Her hearing had not decreased any so they said that was good. Her left ear is fine, normal hearing. In her right ear she has what is called moderate to severe high frequency sensorineural hearing loss. (i think i spelled that right) They said her speech discrimination is good and that her good ear should compensate for the loss of hearing in her right ear. They want to do a cat scan on her (June 11) to check all of the inner ear bone structure and if everything looks normal they can assume it is hereditary and not something causing the hearing loss after birth (rule out any type of cyst or anything like that he said, lots of medical terms....) We are to have her hearing tested annually and he wants to see her next yr but then will only have to see audiology after that. The only things he said she may have trouble with if her hearing stays as it is now is later on, determining what direction sounds are coming from. They want us to get Ethan tested since he failed his initial screenings as well so that is on our list of things to get done this summer... I was more than ready to get out of there when we were finally done and we get outside to it downpouring!! We were drenched rats by the time we got to the van to say the least :) Fun day...
