We went back to the ENT as soon as I could get in after the first set came out, so maybe a few weeks, and they did a hearing test on the day to determine what the hearing loss was like. Before any grommets it was 50% in each ear, after it was 5% in L ear, so we went with just 1 grommet going back in. For other kids the ENT would have left it,. but with all of DS issues we wanted to be able to 100% rule out any physical hearing loss.
But you do need a new GP if they dismiss you. I like that mine will listen to me and take me seriously, but every now and again if I'm going too far they will tell me it's not necessary, but at least I trust them and they trust that I also know myself & my kids. But good GP's are hard to find!
This GP is great in that you an always get an appointment, he bulk bills, and supports my delayed vaccinations. But I find when I need a referral I have to push and when he sent one through for a paed for boytwin he did so with the note "history of chest infections" which meant I had to sit for 20 minutes and retell the story of every infection, pneumonia, etc. I just can't find another one who bulk bills
My GP is always so quick to dismiss me it makes me doubt myself. I really need a new GP
