Hi.
Was he hearing well uptill a month ago? Is he having any pus discharge from the ears? Decreased hearing, especially in a young child, must be evaluated as soon as possible. A hearing test must be done after physical causes of block in the ear, like excessive wax, have been ruled out. Plz visit an ENT specialist near you at the earliest for a complete evaluation.
