Our 26mpnth old doesn't really have any words and had tended to get ear infections from a respiratory problem he has. I got his hearing checked properly today and they were satisfied that he is hearing but the fluid in both ears is causing a muffled sound for him. The audiologist said ENT specialists are loathe to give gromits too soon now so we've decided to sit it out for 4 months and then get his ears checked again to see if the fluid drains itself. If your toddler was diagnosed with glue ear at this age, what did you do?
