I think we figured out that there were a few different toned "beeps" and he was only raising his hand at the ones that he considered to be "beeps" -- maybe the higher-sounding ones? Mr. Literal. Anyway, we took him to the ENT today and he passed the audiologist's tests with flying colors.

Take a deep breath. Did she understand the test and how to respond? Do you notice any hearing issues in general?
