Guest guest Posted June 8, 1999 Report Share Posted June 8, 1999 My son is speech delayed after having been on formula only until he was 3 yrs old. His mouth muscles just arent strong enough because he didn't chew and such as a baby/toddler. - >From: Dcjatben@... >Reply-To: eosinophilic gastroenteritis (AT) onelist (DOT) com >To: eosinophilic gastroenteritis (AT) onelist (DOT) com >Subject: Re: [eosinophilic gastroenteritis] hearing >Date: Tue, 8 Jun 1999 18:18:25 EDT > >From: Dcjatben@... > > > No dosn't but he has always eaten everything, he is 11.11 yrs. >old. >My friend has a 2 1/2 yr. old, who has a g button and speaks vey few words, >but I don't think she has trouble with her hearing. > > Cathy > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >ONElist: where real people with real interests get connected. >http://www.onelist.com >Join a new list today! _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 1999 Report Share Posted June 10, 1999 Miriam also has a speech delay since she has never really eaten . The doctors say its because seh didn't use those muscles in her mouth her speech was very slurred for along time now I can understand more but there are times I could barely understand her. Yisroel will be 2 next month and he doesn't speak at all and I was told it is because he is not eating. All 3 of my kids got tubes in ther ears. Yisroel lasted tested also had minor hearing loss which I have to check again. Shana ( mom to Miriam 3 1/2 EG, allergies, NG tube Yisroel, 22 months asthma, food allergies.Tehilla 7)..

Guest guest Posted June 10, 1999 Report Share Posted June 10, 1999 Thanks for letting me know about other kids speech delays because of lack of eating. I appreciate the feed back. AJ is starting speech again on Thursday. AJ is mildly hearing impaired. We got the official hearing report today, but after the office closed. The suggestions are to have AJ retested in 3 months and to have a neurological developmental exam done. Remi has a neuro and a developmental ped. I have never heard of a neuro developmental doc though. Anyone know of one in the philly area? Wonder what they are looking for? Fine and gross motor skills are on target, cognitive dev is fine. Just curious. I don't have enough patience until the office opens. Thanks so much. phyllis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 I do know that many people have had troubles about ears " plugging up, " both before and after surgery. Why? I dunno, except that the TMJs are really close to the ear canals. About the injury, and the nerves -- I have no clue. I do know that when my ears plug up (yes, they do, from time to time) a decongestant can help. I also know that one side of my mouth has long since been more receptive to novocaine than the other. I always figured it was because I'd had a lot more dental work on one side than on the other, but I'm no expert there, either. Good wishes with the insurance and with the doc. It's important to have a surgeon (and an ortho) in whom you have confidence, I think. Cammie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
