Hello.
As the title says, Friday my 11 month old baby is getting tubes in his ears. Since I'm anxious, (I know it's very fast and he'll be fine, but you know.. parent anxiety lol) I've been reading everything I can.
I've been on many older reddit posts and other message boards (as well as a billion articles ). Mostly what I'm finding is people talking about how horrible their kids ear infections were before tubes and whether they helped or not. Some talk about hearing and communication improvements as well.
Has anyone had a child who was NOT getting ear infections, but had hearing loss? And did your child regain all of their hearing?
My son has never had an infection, but does have fluid. He did pass his newborn screening, but now has what the ENT said is, "severe hearing loss".
Not looking for medical advice, just any experiences! I'm sure he will regain his hearing, but I'm also trying to stay cautiously optimistic. I also posted in the parenting subreddit, but it didn't get much response.
Btw, send all the good vibes our way because he can't eat after midnight the morning of his surgery and this baby nurses around the mf clock, man
Thank you!
