So, apparently Zachary is very nearly deaf at this point, mechanically deaf but deaf none the less. His speech is pretty good, I mean, he's only 3 and yeah he says 'force' instead of 'horse' but he can say 'house' correctly. The tempanagram (sp?) test, -10 is either normal or a score they will try something other than tubes for (I don't remember), Zachary scored -350 in his right ear and his left ear doesn't even register a score. Straight to tubes, do not pass go, do not collect $200. I cannot schedule his surgery until next week because the lady who does the scheduling is out on vacation.
I did ask about permanent hearing loss since Uncle Dr. David had a similar problem and is now permanently deaf in one ear with hearing loss in the other. The doctor said that he would do everything he could and watch Zachary very closely to make sure this doesn't happen to Zachary.
