[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - DS passed the one they gave him at birth and pediatrician didn’t think he had hearing loss when she examined him. That being said if the therapist ordered it, we would happily do it.[/quote]

Fwiw, my good friend has substantial congential hearing loss that wasn't picked up until kindergarten. My nephew also had issues (due to frequent infections) that weren't picked up until he started seeing an ENT. Fortunately a hearing test with an audiologist is easy/noninvasive. [/quote]

+1 My young was referred to EI at 15 months with gross motor delays. At 20 months, he had a speech evaluation thru EI because of speech delays. We were late to catch the speech delays because his non verbal communication was excellent and with 2 older siblings close to his age who were very close with him, we were overlooked it.

The SLP indicated he presented as a child with hearing loss and recommended a hearing test with a audiologist. We were shock. DS was tested at birth, saw the pediatrician regularly and had no history of ear infections. Turns out, DS had unresolved fluid in his ears and needed tubes.[/quote]
