Mother of a 4-year-old boy, Sarah consulted various specialists who all reassured her. But after 5 months, she perseveres and follows her mother’s instinct… She says.
Sarah is the mother of a 4-year-old boy, and at this age, children often do stupid things, without us even realizing it. Certain everyday actions can occur when parents’ backs are turned, and this can also happen at daycare or kindergarten. This is what seems to have happened for Malo.
“JI noticed for several months that Malo made me repeat certain sentences several times“, the young mother confides to us. And while her son speaks correctly and already has a good command of the French language, the fact that he does not hear well makes her doubt.”I didn’t worry too much, but we still had to check that he didn’t have earplugs.“So Sarah takes him to see an ENT to check that everything is okay, and if necessary, clean his ears. “The doctor removed some earwax, but it was rather reassuring. For him, everything was fine.”.
But Sarah has been worried for five months. For her, her son hears less well than usual. She then consults another ENT again. “The doctor asks me if nothing had been reported to the school, which was not the case. I seem like the mother who worries a little for nothing, but I decide to follow my maternal instinct and I insist to her, telling her that there is really something wrong.” The doctor examines him again and tells him that indeed, “there is something in the ear“. Sarah then begins to become afraid, and sees that she is removing a large pearl from her son’s ear. “He probably had to sink his teeth into it in nursery school“, supposes the young mother, since she does not have a pearl at home.
The pearl was so deep in her ear that no one could see it with the naked eye. “I feel relieved that it was taken away from him,” she says. These unusual repetitions alerted her and she was relieved.
