At least, that’s what the Audiologist said. I should be happy right? I mean… Yea! my son’s hearing is just fine! So why do i doubt the results? Well… the way I see it, I’ve got three possibilities here.
One. The hearing test was wrong. afterall, the unscientific testing I’ve done here at home (Can you hear the music now? How about now? Now?) seems to have proven that there is some lower range loss. I Know my son, I see the trouble he has distinguishing sounds. I hear the words dropping out of his speech patterns, I know something doesn’t feel right. But is he faking? Has he gotten that good at it?
Two. It was allergies! afterall, the pollen counts have been through the roof! I’m talking you can literally see the little grains of pollen blowing around in the breeze. I myself have a hearing problem that is exaccerbated by allergies. Why wouldn’t my son?? He’s been inside a little more now that he’s not in school anymore. He’s had problems all last week or so with postnasal drip. And two days ago, the faucet in his nose turned off. It’s entirely possible that it’s allergies.
Three. The possibility that I least like. He’s been faking us out the whole time. Yes. I must admit, it is possible. Hard to believe, and I seriously doubt it, but I remember the actress I was at his age. Yea. It’s possible.
I think I’m settling somewhere between one and two, with a dash of three. I do believe there is some mild low level loss. I also think that maybe an allergy plugged him up to the point he couldn’t hear. I also believe he has decided to exploit this, by declaring he didn’t hear me everytime I catch him disobeying.
Somebody stop me. I’m having too much fun. *S*
