We had our appt. with Dr. Hamilton, the most recommended ENT in town for what we are doing. We waited 2 months for this appt. and can you believe I was worried about having the baby and missing the appt. on June 30th. Ha Ha. The main goal was to see about having a CT Scan done of G's ears to determine if there is a cause for her hearing loss. We learned two basic things:
#1 The CT Scan is mostly used to diagnose Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome.
If she has this, it would be important for us to know and mean her loss is progressive.
#2 Only about 5% of kids with a hearing loss scanned have this.
So our plan right now is to have her hearing retested this month and if there is no change again in 3 months. At that point we can decide if we want to spend the money and more importantly, have her sedated, to do the CT Scan. The Dr. said you don't normally have to sedate for a CT Scan but then he tried to examine her and saw what he was dealing with. She is not a good patient, needless to say.
I was happy with the appt. and feel confident we are on the right path for her. Now if I could just give birth...
