dd is 3.7
From a very early age she had repeated ear infections. It got to the point that her ear drums were bursting once a fortnight She was always in pain.
It took a long time, but finally, she had grommets fitted at age 2.1. After they were fitted she had a hearing test and we were advised that her hearing was not 100%, especially not high pitched sounds, but not to worry.
The grommets came out naturally within a year.
She has always been loud, but the last few months she has been unbearably so! Her most uttered word is 'pardon?'- shouted at volume! She rarely hears anything the first time it is said, which is frustrating for everyone. Whenever we visit relatives, they comment on how loud she is and call her 'cloth ears' etc
Anyway, she had another ear infection after Christmas, and has been at her loudest this week.
I think I should push to have her hearing re-tested. Has anyone any experience of what I have described?
