Ear-Nose-Throat Problems
Hearing problem
Hi, my son is complaining about hard of hearing since we came back from Shimla last month. we consult ENT. The doctors say that there is a jelly kind of deposite at the joint of nose and ear and it is blocking the eardrum. 12 days back his hearing capacity was detected as 50%. Doctor prescribed him antibiotics (augmentin 350mg) alongwith nasel drops and steam thrice a day. after a weeks regime, he reported that his right ear is open. but left ear still has blockage. Doctor asked for another week of steam and said that if the blockage doesnt open, it shall have to be operated. I want to know that is it really high time to undergo the surgery or we can try with medicines and steam regime.

Difficulty speaking
Speech rare and visibly difficult. Words are protracted. Voice box damaged. Can learn new words with practice. Mentally able.
I am having no luck finding a speech therapist for him who will visit home (he cannot travel far). He is adamant that he does not want to be poked, prodded, or put on any more medication, and I must respect that.
I thought, given your stellar reviews, that you might know of similarly patient therapists near Alwarpet, Chennai, who you could refer to us. Any advice would be much appreciated - it is painful how frustrated he feels when he cannot express himself to his loved ones.
