I didn't think there was anything wrong with my daughter who is also 16 months but she has been sick lots and we just wanted to check.

We did a hearing test and they found maybe a mild loss but they thought she was just tired of the test so we did the test again 2 months later and...

It shows the same thing in both ears. They checked for fluid and there is none and did another test which just confirmed the first. So now we are waiting to go to Children's Hospital so we can sedate her to check if the sound connects to her brainstem. (they used little electrode stickers on her forehead but they need her to be still and quiet)

At first I thought...she's only little...she's tired...oh but she still doesn't say Dada, or many other words....and she has such a pretty voice (the loss is in the low frequencies)...she doesn't respond when the fan turns on.

I thought that she could hear....I know now that she doesn't.

Go and get your baby's hearing tested...it will be worth the piece of mind.
