Does the little girl have a Primary Doctor? ...Surely, that doctor would do the referral. Even the schools give hearing tests to students if they suspect the child is not able to hear well....A school nurse would surely be able to help also...
You've waited a long time now....and seem to have more "patience" than I would ever have......as I would raise holy hell if something like this happened to my child...
I cannot fathom seeing a ittle girl "cupping her ear" to be able to hear!...Like some old person....
she does have a pediatrician, and an appointment in 2 weeks. sure the she could do a referral, but medicaid will not cover an ENT with out cronic earinfections, which shes not getting. and i plan on filing an appeal on wednesday
and the school did do a hearing test, and she failed, THATS how i got her into an audiologist..
from 2009 till just the past few months her hearing loss was only mild. i only had to barely raise my voice to talk to her if there was alot of background noise. and she was fine in school, she only had two instances where she "wasnt listening" in music class.
its only been since mid september or so that i noticed a marked drastic decrease in her hearing. and its gotten worse the past month. when i talk to her from across the room unless i yell. she cant hear me. she has to be standing right by me, and she still leans her better ear towards me. if there is alot of other noise i have to speak directly in her ear.
