[QUOTE="buddy, post: 490919, member: 12886"] In your case, if you were one of my kids, I would be concerned and keep on top of it too. The reason is that you already have a diagnosis of possible auditory issues, behavior issues and autistic traits. Kids with nothing going on can have trouble. What can happen is when hearing comes and goes (and with middle ear stuff like this, it can be significantly reduced but not deaf) the child naturally starts to not attend. Milestones that come from hearing what goes on around them are put off. When the hearing comes back they need to adjust to that... for some kids that can be a big deal. So when you have a kid who already needs more direct teaching...... I would ask them to treat him as if he always has a reduced level of hearing for now. Make sure they get his attention, seat him closer to the teacher, use more visual cues to make sure he is looking (which can be hard depending on the autism issues he has) or at least shows his signs of being aware. Once his E tubes are grown and angled more like his adult size, he will probably not have this issue as much. Good he doesn't have much pain, poor kid. These are kids that auditory trainers can help too. But he is little and may not tolerate it much. [/QUOTE]
