Quinnie Ear Update

I know I have been MIA lately, there has just been a lot (both good and bad) going on for us.  Today, I will focus on our Quinnie.


As most of you know, Quinn has started receiving some speech help in February and had a hearing test in December.  At the hearing test, her hearing tested "normal" but they found middle ear fluid in her ears (more in one than the other).  Thus, the doctor wanted us to have an ear re-check in a couple months.  Yet, an ear infection came before then, so we had to wait two months after that.  Finally, last Monday we had our ear recheck.  The doctor said that she still had fluid in her middle ears (but it was not infected).  The doctor suggested waiting until her 2 year check-up in a few months to see how it was then since her hearing tested normal.  I then began to wonder the point of this ear recheck (besides the cost of the doctor's visit they are getting).  I asked a question:  "How can we tell the difference between that she can hear a noise vs. distinguishing between sounds?"  She couldn't answer me.  Then, she said that she could refer me to an ENT for "peace of mind."  That is where we will be tomorrow.  Wish us luck!
