We were told a few months ago that our 3 year old son has glue ear and he is considerably deaf at the moment. He has been referred to ENT consultant for next steps but we already know we don't want him to have grommets fitted because he is already having enough operations for other health issues. I was speaking to an audiologist who said that we will be going to the ENT appointment just to tell them we don't want him to have grommets and need a referral back to audiology for hearing aids. This seems a lengthy process amd a waste of everyones time! In the mean time our sons speeach isn't great so we were thinking of going private but we have no idea where to start looking or what sort of prices we will be looking at. Can anyone shed any light on this please?
