Trey had another hearing test this past week (the first attempt was in MN) and again went into it with slight congestion. I was assured by the doctor that he would still be able to form a very clear opinion about what may be happening with Trey’s hearing and give me a few options at the end of the appointment. Trey was not very cooperative during the hearing test and therefore the technician along with the doctor concluded that the test itself could not be used. What was found was fluid behind both of Trey’s ears and the fact that he has a flat malleus (or hammer) as seen in both ears. Our options at the end of the appointment were; 1) try Trey on an antibiotic to dry up the fluid 2) have ‘tubes’ inserted into Trey’s ears. I asked if we could start with #1 and go from there. So, here we are more than half way into the ten day prescribed duration of the antibiotic with what I believe is ‘not doing the job”. At our next appointment I am pretty confident that we will be discussing option #2. Unless our new form of PT does the job on its own…more to come on this exciting find!
