[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 452215, member: 11847"] husband and I were remembering how the hearing test went 2 years ago. And I remembered that difficult child did not do well when he was in the sound proof chamber. The audiologist just thought he was a little young and shy and that was the reason why he did not answer... Drawing such a conclusion made sense at the time, he was only 2 years old after all. And the test, where he just had to sit quietly while the machine was measuring stuff in his ears, was just fine. Now I'm wondering if all that time we assumed wrong! What if he really has a hearing probem. I mean a physical problem. It would explain a lot, almost everything. My mother met a friend who has a hearing problem (after an accident) and as she was talking to him, she saw him become more and more agitated. He finally turned toward an other person at the dinner table and yelled: "could you please at once stop shouting in my ears!!!". Everyone froze and the poor man had to apologize and explain that his hearing issue makes him feel like he is at a train station and all the sounds get mixed up. If a grown man who is very well aware of his issue reacts like that, just imagine a 4 year old!! It has to be awfull to suffer from some kind of hearing issue (physical or Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)) and not even being able to understand or explain it. All those testing cannot come soon enough. [/QUOTE]
