It is recommended that you make an appointment with an audiologist to have otoscopy and a full hearing evaluation completed including immittance testing. An audiologist will determine if cerumen (earwax) drops are beneficial and will be able to provide you feedback regarding your hearing sensitivity as well as the health of your middle ear system. If an audiologist deems necessary, they may refer you to an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) physician for further medical evaluation.

If there are still concerns whether or not there is a foreign object in the ear or a possible infection, you may consider returning to the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) physician or an audiologist to complete otoscopy (looking in the ear canal). If your son continues to complain of discomfort, the ENT or an audiologist will be able to complete a tympanogram to determine if there is fluid behind the eardrum that may or may not be infected.

If you suspect or continue to struggle with a hearing loss, we recommend you have your hearing re-evaluated and schedule an appointment with an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) physician. Save or request copies of all your past hearing exams and provide them to your ENT to review the hearing loss and/or fluctuations you suspect. Provide a thorough medical history to your physician. Treatment for Glandular fever may have side effects your ENT can review with you. Your ENT may want to complete additional exams as well. If your doctor ultimately deems it appropriate, they can provide you medical clearance to pursue hearing aid options.
