Hi Dee,

Has your little boy had re-occuring ear infections.....sometimes the ear cannals get blocked or badly clogged up with wax,glue ear is very common in young children,we have had two that have gone in and had Grommits done,you need a referal to an (ENT) Ears,Nose & Throat specialist,followed by a couple of hearing tests after a few weeks.
The hearing test don`t hurt at all. If you leave it,too long you might find your little one may have problems with speech,pronouncing words wrong......one of our son`s had to attend Speech Therapy. Good Luck,hun.
