In today's Dear Annie column, a mother responds to a prior letter how she'll be forever grateful that a neighbor pointed out her child's issues with hearing to her.
Today's reader is glad someone saw something and said something. It helped her son get the help he needed with his hearing issues at a young age.
My daughter-in-law felt that her eldest child, my grandson, was not speaking as well as he should have been when he was very young, probably 18 months or so. She monitored the situation and mentioned it to her pediatrician, who referred her to an ENT specialist. His diagnosis was fluid on the ears. He compared it to how sound is muffled when our ears are under water. My grandson had tubes put in his ears, and some speech therapy, and was soon speaking often and properly.
