Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Hello everyone, I sent an email last week and I haven't received one response! Please email me with advice. Owen 14 months old went for his 3rd hearing test last week. The doctor said this was the first time he found fluid in his ears and wanted to put tubes in his ears. My husband and I were shocked that he would automatically say this. Owen has never had an ear infection (that we know of). The doctors said because of his condition (meaning ds) that it is common to have tubes put in the ears. I found this to be offensive. I believe that every child is different and there are children with ds that I know that have never had ear tubes. My husband and I are looking into getting a second opinion. Have any of your children had tube put in their ears? Have any of your children just have fluid and not any ear infections? How reliable are hearing test? Please email back with similar issues and/or advice. Thanks a bunch, Tonya, Mom to Owen 14 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
