Test- inconclusive.
His ear drum has "sucked in," possibly a result of the fluid in his ear two weeks ago.
This means the test is showing a mild-moderate hearing loss.
Although I don't detect a great shift in his ability to hear us, all my recent CMV connections and reading has me believing that my son is losing his hearing, and like so many others affected by congenital CMV, he will lose all his hearing at some point. All my preparations will assume this to be the case (I originally sought Br1ght school out for this, and somewhere along the way, got used to the idea of a hearing child with developing language...)??
We have another ENT appointment in two weeks to look at the eardrum, and see if it's OK for another hearing eval.
Honestly, I am not hopeful.
About the test.
I am eternally hopeful about my son. Despite every challenge, he is full of love and life. Stay tuned.

I have total confidence in your family's ability to rise to any challenge. You are a truly awesome group of people and Elliot is an awesome little boy. And if you're planning on learning ASL, I'd love to tag along--I've been wanting to learn for years.
