    I'm worried about my DD. For a while now weve been getting frustrated by her 'ignorance' but the last few days it's started occuring to me that it may actually be that she cant hear us! If you speak to her in a normal volume she doesn't respond, not even to things like 'do you want some sweets', 3 months ago you couldve whispered that as quiet as possible and she's be there like a shot. You have to raise your voice to get her to respond and have a conversation with her. MAny times she has said 'i cant hear you mummy, i cant hear the tv' etc, but i thought she was just trying to make me be loud as a way of her controlling me if you know what i mean, or like a game. Now it's all falling into place and i feel guilty for not realising sooner. And a few months back she would hear the gate open and be like 'whos here' now somebody can knock on the door, i go let them in and be talking for a few mins and she doesnt realise anybody is here until she sees them. She is 3years 3months.

    Could be something simple like glue ear maybe? Does she get ear infections?

    Just looked at the link below and it looks like loss of hearing can sometimes be the only symptom. Try not to worry. :A

    oh bless her. Did she have the hearing test in the hospital when she was born? Does she have pain? It might be something as simple as a build up of wax. Try not to worry too much, just get her checked out and don't beat yourself for not noticing, i sent my 3 year old into playgroup thinking he just had a cold to find out the next day he had a chest infection!! (He did want to go in btw, i didn't drag him in lol) xx

    I'm hoping it will be something like that. She's never had an ear infection though, but is always full of cold. But me being me I can't help but go overboard and think she might end up completely deaf.. I do worry too much :( I've made her an appointment for the doctors and hopefully they will refer her for a hearing test

    Talk to the doctors. Chances are you'll be referred to ENT (ear nose and throat). At which point they'll do a few checks. My girl had the same, but cos of what's in my signature it was extremely concerning. Turned out to be glue ear which eventually fixed itself.

    Only now we're at big school the nursing team have sent us a letter to say she may have trouble hearing in the classroom. AHHHHHH
