Thank you for your reply Tony. Here is our experience from the ENT and audiologist from last week.

We saw the audiologist first. She ran two tests, one to test the inner ear (where the speaker was placed outside of her ear) and the other where the ear buds were inside her ear. During the inner ear test her good ear was not plugged to prevent her from actually hearing things. During that particular test, I could hear the audiologist speaking to her from where I was sitting across the room. She made comments like "if you can hear my voice you can hear the beeps". Apparently this was said during the ear bud test as well. This made her feel bad for not hearing and not responding even though she couldn't hear the beeps. So she just started saying beep randomly. She also told me that there were times where she didn't "hear" a beep but felt the vibrations and responded to those as well. She was very critical of my childs responses during the test.

Let me back up just a moment in the sequence of events, when we were first called back by the audiologist she brought up a hearing test that was performed a couple of years ago. At the time we were trying to get answers on why she was failing tests at her Peds doctors office. Based on that test that particular audiologist (different one altogether) felt like she has Auditory Processing Disorder. There was a packet of survey style questions I had to answer for a follow up appointment. At the time, we didn't feel like we needed the follow up as there isn't a fix or cure for APD. Just an adjustment for her. She seemed to understand the issues around it. Although she has some issues with loud background noises and not being able to hear clearly she seems to have worked around having this problem. So when we were being taken back by this audiologist last week she was questioning my decision for not following up on that test. I tried my best to explain and redirect her to focus on what the current problem is since the two don't go hand in hand. But in the end I was made to feel like my decision back then was wrong.

After the hearing test was complete we sat with the ENT. We were so unhappy with how the audiologist handle things that we decided to let the ENT know of the issues. We don't feel like the audiologist provided a good hearing test and the results probably reflected that. I used the words "feel bad" to the ENT in the recount of the interaction. He said to us that "if we were here to not feel bad then he and i weren't on the same page". I told him that we were here for answers to her hearing problems regardless of how it made us feel. He didn't listen to nor displayed any signs of caring about her story on her hearing issues leading us to that appointment. All he wanted to do was get another test done because the first was inconclusive (i.e. she could hear some beeps at a range but not others at the same range). Mind you this audiologist only took 2 tests. The one from yesterday took 6 to get a clear understanding of why this was happening. I wish the ENT at this visit had mentioned hearing loss, steroids or anything that would have helped us understand that yes she really has a problem. Even if it was something along the lines of it can't be fixed. But nothing was ever mentioned along those lines. He speculated nothing (understandable since doctors tend to want evidence to help lead to what the issue is). But we left with more questions than answers and zero idea of what was going on.

We ended up leaving that appointment with a second hearing test scheduled for June 3rd. I called around and spoke to a nice lady at a hearing loss office. It was because of her that we found the doctor we saw yesterday. Regarding yesterdays visit, he only mentioned having the follow up appointment 2 months out. No direct visit right after her treatment was finished. Is this something we should ask for? And to clarify the hearing loss that she is experiencing now is only in one ear, her left.

Thank you again for your reply.
