ENT #1

So, Lilli was 3 weeks old when we went to our first ENT, Dr. Phillips, who I highly reccomend if you ever need an ENT. He was so nice and their audiologist was super sweet too! They did what is called an OAE (otoaacoustic emmissions test). This is where they stick tiny buds into your ears and emit a sound. The buds also have a microphone on them and can measure the echo of the sound in the ears. It can only tell if someone is hearing normally, it doesnt give a range of hearing loss. Again, our sweet girl didnt pass. Dr. Phillips was very nice and informed us that this is again sort of normal. He told me and Tony that we would retest her in 3 months and see what happens, if she still didnt pass, we would have to have further testing. We were still upset about the results. We prayed every day, probably every hour for the next 3 months.
