Results conclude that she has a mild hearing loss for the right ear and is recommended that she have a regular hearing test every 6-12 months during her regular ENT appointment times.
What this means to me: Well, her hearing can be like anything else, it can either get better or worse so we will continue to monitor. I was concerned with what the term "mild loss" meant. Defined by the John Tracy Clinic (www.jtc.org) "mild hears most speech sounds from a close distance".
I must share, when she woke up from her unconscious state, she was very irritable. They best way to describe her was green slime. She had no physical muscular body control unless she was contained, hence the green slime. I was happy to take her home and place her in her car seat. I knew she would be safe in it. When we were home, I placed her on the floor. She was very unstable. She wanted to walk but her feet and legs could not hold her. She wanted to stand but her arms and hands could not pull her. It was hysterically scary, If that even makes sense. I could only laugh at her lack of ability but consciously wondering how long this would last... an hour, two hours, 6 hours, a day, a week?!?
