    Given that he's had some ear infections, it might be a good idea to ask for a referral to get some specialist hearing testing and maybe a check with an ear nose throat person if there's any sign that there might still be a problem. If his hearing is muffled in other ways, then it would be a bit like the noise you get when you're underwater and you hit your head (kwim?). I'd be following up on this because hearing is so important for speech development, you don't want to take any chances with it.

    Yeah he has an appointment I made back in August, they couldn't fit him in till November, he is seeing a specialist and getting hearing tests done so just have to wait till then. All his infections have been in his left ear and had a perforated ear drum but they seem to think it healed up really well but you never know until they do the tests. Hopefully if there is something wrong it's only in the one ear even better if he's perfectly fine of course!
