Hearing Test 4yr old

pensparade

DD has always been a huge talker but for the last couple of weeks she is having a really hard time with her listening. At first we thought it was behavioral but more and more the last few days we are realizing she really isn't hearing us well. DH brought her to our PCP this morning and they cleaned wax from her ears and mentioned scar tissue from where she had tubes put in as a baby for ear infections. They are referring us to get her hearing tested. MIL thinks it is a phase, I really have no idea what this is and pray that it is being blown out of proportion but idk.

Has anyone had their child tested at this age? What was it like?

Does anyone else have a child who suddenly seems to have trouble hearing?
