This morning I brought Matthew to see the ENT specialist regarding the "malformation" of his left ear. Noticed that I've put the word malformation in quotes, because I believe that he can hear very well. He responds to us when we call him from his left side. He also can hear the sounds from the phone when we hold the handset to his left ear...

The ENT specialist is Dr Lynne Lin. Apparently according to some article I read on the ENT clinic's notice board, she is the only paediatric ENT specialist in Singapore or NUH. Memory is still bad, I cannot remember exactly. Whatever..

We were the first patient. It has to be lah. We were earliest, reaching before 8:30am. Then we waited more than an hour for her to start her consultation for the day. By then, Matthew was taking his morning nap, which made things easier. She checked his ear and promptly informed us that they would need a CT scan on his temporal bones in order to know how bad the "malformation" is. Also need a auditory test to test how much and how well he could hear. In both procedures, he would be sedated... She reassured us that it would be all ok...

So it is arranged to conduct the CT scan on 26/8/05 and the auditory test and follow-up consultation on 8/9/05.
