physical problem before investigating other possible causes for
his failure to listen.  ipadquietly Sun 13-Jan-13 19:11:15  ....
and, when you have found that his hearing is perfect, you can

'Now, mini41, I know you can hear me because the doctor told me
that your hearing is perfect - you're just not listening......I

realise how extreme it was (sometimes he has next to no hearing
in both ears) until he was tested, and when he had grommets I
discovered he wasn't just running away out or awkwardness-he
couldn't hear me call him back. They told me at ENT they
compensate very well. The really cute quirk he had of patting my
cheek to make me turn to him
