I'm really worried about my 2-month-old son's hearing. He didn't pass the OAE test, and when we went for the BERA test, the right ear showed no response, and the left only a slight response at higher thresholds. Some folks tell me that hearing can still develop until he's around 1.5 years old, but our pediatrician thinks we should see an ENT for possible interventions once he turns 6 months. I'm torn about what to do. Can anyone recommend a good doctor who specializes in this? Also, are there any effective treatment options we should consider?

Its completely understandable to feel unsure and worried about your babys health, but following the pediatricians guidance to see an ENT specialist after 6 months is a wise decision. Early intervention can significantly improve the chances of normal speech and language development.

My friend has been having throat pain either in the early morning or at bedtime for about six months now. Just recently, there's been a bad smell coming from her mouth for the past two days. Why might she be experiencing these symptoms, and what could be causing this odor? Are they related to each other somehow?
For tonsil stones, consider: *Non-Surgical Options* 1. *Gargling*: Continue gargling with warm salt water or Betadine solution. 2. *Waterpik*: Use a waterpik to flush out debris and stones. 3. *Tonsil stone removal kits*: Available online or at pharmacies. 4. *Antibacterial mouthwash*: Use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine. *Medical Consultation* 1. *ENT Specialist*: Consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination. 2. *Rule out Chronic Tonsillitis*: The ENT specialist can diagnose chronic tonsillitis and recommend treatment. *Additional Tips* 1. *Maintain good oral hygiene*: Brush and floss regularly. 2. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to keep your throat moist. 3. *Avoid smoking and tobacco*: These can exacerbate the problem.
