I continued my quest over the weekend to remove all cd, dvd and console game discs and boxes.
This is to stop the never ending cycle of kids placing these across the floor in a random way. I say "thrown", they say "put"
DVDs and CDs have already been moved digital via popcorn hour, Wii games via an external hard disc. Now the PSP games have gone electronic.
Going slow but realising the vision. No media to throw around. Makes everything look much neater as well.
Around the start of this year I started feeling concerned about my sons (7yr) hearing. The usual "huh", "what", high volume of tv and ignoring us when we spoke.
I took him to the doctor and got him checked. No visible problem could be seen. and he responded to doctor without hesitation. The doctor also mentioned that it is more usual for hearing problems to be picked up by teachers at school.
After a few weeks I was still concerned, even though I was being told by friends/family it was probably just selective hearing.
I took him back to doctor and requested a referral.
The referral had a hearing test, which showed that he has a hearing loss from fluid behind the ear.
That is now being treated. The tv volume has been reduced, the selective hearing is still there but at leat I know he can hear me. Most important of all is the fact that when out he is more confident as he is hearing what is being said or questions asked of him.
