Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Get a hearing check for sure they can do this at the same time they put the tubes in under sedation and this is a much more useful way to check hearing. Our boy was 2 and had them put in and we knew we had a major problem when no speech came after that. Your situation may be entirely different that is where the hearing test comes into play. They say to give the tubes 1-3 months with regards to speech... We were concerned pretty much right away because we knew he was hearing just fine.... Good luck and good for you for checking everything out... [ ] Update on hearing test appt > Hey, > > Just wanted to know if anyones children have had the tubes put in > their ears.
