We've been saying for years that Junie had hearing problems,but on several occasions we were told it was fine, and that she just had an attention problem.
Two months ago our concerns were validated. An ENT said she has 50% hearing loss in her right ear, 30% in the left. She was put on some medicine to decrease the fluid in her ear and for awhile it worked. Once during this time, at a restaurant that was moderately busy, she wigged out, saying the noise was just too much. To her, after 6+ years of muted sound, normal noise was overwhelming and chaotic.
Anyhow, tomorrow she goes in for surgery to put tubes in her ears. No big deal (Smiley had them already) but she's a little upset. She says she doesn't want to hear better and that she's just fine the way she is, but that's just nerves.
No real point or ending to this post, just rambling . . .
