Hearing always has the potential to cause problems in speech and language development as well as learning abilities. When in doubt, contact your pediatrician for a referral to an ENT to address the hearing concerns. If your child is demonstrating speech delays, have your child evaluated by a Speech-Language Pathologist.
Bring it up with the pediatrician so she can order hearing tests
Follow up with an ear nose and throat specialist for an exam and testing.
Consult with an Audiologist as soon as is able for you.
