[QUOTE="seriously, post: 452251, member: 11920"] Ok. So did the audiologist you went to before use anything especially for kids to help with the testing? Like, did you hold your son on your lap during the sound booth tests? Did they have stuffed animals in the corners of the room that moved and made sounds as part of the testing? Did they put a little ear plug sort of thing in each ear and do a puff of air to measure whether his ear drum was working right? Does your pediatrician do any basic hearing screening every year? If so has he passed those? If you can get that hearing test moved up I would do it. Otherwise, all the results could be useless if he turns out to have even a mild hearing loss. I would also suggest that you specifically ask the audiology office if they do anything special when testing younger children and/or how many children they test in a month (i.e. how much experience do they have testing young children). Then get them to tell you what they do that's different. [/QUOTE]
