Thanks girls. I took her to the dr again yesterday, she has another ear infection. Im going to call the specilist today and see if he will put her on the waiting list...he did say the list is massive so could be another 12mths before she gets them anyway
Damn about swimming... we have a pool and over summer will be in it everyday. Spock is 4 and can swim confidently for her age (and never had leasons, just us teaching her)
Would the problem only be if their head goea underwater? Splashing wouldn't cause a problem?

Also, we haven't noticed any hearing loss, she appears to have good hearing, eg responds to us appropriately etc thank god
