DD has been copying words that we say since about 13 months, quite accurately (all one syllable - red, blue, shoes, socks, bed etc). All a bit of fun because she is quite a chatterbox and loves being read to.

Over the last 2 months though she attempts these words and more all the time but gets no where near the sounds. She's also hasn't said 'mum' or 'mummy' at all in the last 2 months.

Do you think she could have developed a hearing problem? She seems to hear her name, instructions etc but I'm not sure she is now hearing things clearly. She has had her ears checked recently for infection and they were fine. Not hugely worried but I'm a bit confused why things have changed.
