I think everyone has said it, but it's a lot more likely that a little kid just doesn't want to listen vs isn't able to literally hear. We would all have done the same thing.

There is nothing wrong with his hearing though, it's been tested and proven. He has what is called selective hearing. You can't always know what is going on, especially when they are so young. You did take her to have them checked. <BR/><BR/>I'll be sending lots of positive thoughts next week for her surgery.

She could hear part of the time because the fluid moved. Other times, she heard very little. Since there was also a noisy boy in our house and my voice carries naturally, we didn't notice that she spoke louder at times. Her teacher called it to my attention, and we fixed her. She didn't require surgery or tubes since she was old enough to do a breathing exercise where she put her chin on her chest, thus straightening the tubes that run from your ears to your throat, for normal drainage. She was told to hold her nose and then try to breath through it, keeping her mouth closed tight. It took several times, but eventually her ears popped, opening the eustachian tubes enough that the fluid could begin to drain. She hasn't been the same since.<BR/><BR/>The other thing I didn't notice about my son was that he had an underbite. A friend mentioned it in casual conversation one day and I was totally taken of guard.<BR/><BR/>So you are not a bad mother.

She has a tube still in from three years ago so in March it will have to be surgically removed it is a non-functioning tube. Tubes and adenoids takes about 1 hour to a little more than an hour. It was the most heart wrenching hour. All went ok and by the afternoon she was fine. No bleeding or issues. She could hear again and could whisper. It will be ok. Don't feel guilt. I went almost a year with Sarah having hearing problems and I did not know until the preschool teacher brought it to my attention too.
