Brendan isn't just delayed in speech and language, he has other issues going on to, but thank you for your words x

Another quick update on Brendan

On Friday (yesterday, 5/11) I took Brendan down to Perth to see the Audiologists. Brendan was such a champ, he was so well behaved and has graduated from needing two Audiologists to just one! (people that know Brendan know that this is a HUGE thing) The hearing test only took about 30 mins whereas before it took then more like an hour because of his behaviour. I'm just so glad that he was so easy to work with yesterday, but then they know Brendan and Brendan knows the procedures etc now so that helps.

Anyway the results...
Moderate/Severe hearing loss in his right ear and mild/moderate loss in his left ear. At this stage the only permanent damage is very mild (they tested his nerves) however without surgery to insert grommets, it will become a permanent hearing loss. He has been waiting since December last year to see an ENT specialist and is unlikely to be seen before June 2011, all because a referral got lost wasting us 7 months of precious time. The Audiologists work in the same building as Brendan's Developmental Paediatrician so they are going to have a chat with her and get her to talk to PMH to get him seen sooner. *fingers crossed*

Brendan has shown a hearing loss in both ears since his first hearing test (not birth one) however before it was only a mild/moderate loss.

We go back in February.
