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.

View allI'm a bit worried because I sneezed this morning and felt something happen in my ear. It wasn't too painful at first, but now the pain has become unbearable tonight. I tried steaming, which made me feel a bit better, but the pain came back. Can you help me figure out what's going on with my ear?
It would be advisable to consult an ENT doctor in this situation. There could have been a perforation of the tympanic membrane (ear drum). There is also a possibility of impacted wax having been dislodged due to the sneeze and causing pain thereafter.

I've put 3 to 4 drops of ear drops in my left ear last night around 10, and now it's totally blocked. I'm having trouble hearing properly. What's going on? Should I go see the nearest hospital for this?
you might have wax in the ear which swelled up after putting ear drops.. visit an ENT specialist for assessment and wax removal if required..
