Question
Case History:
Andy, age 3, passed NBHS, but has had a history of severe
allergies, eustachian tube dysfunction and otitis media. He had one
set of PE tubes placed at 18 months of age. The PE tubes extruded
(came out) about 4 months ago.
Since a severe upper respiratory infection approximately 2 months
ago, Andy's mother has noticed that he appears even more
congested than usual. He is breathing almost exclusively through
his mouth and snores at night. He appears to be ignoring much of
the time and often says, "What?" His speech has become "slushier"
or "mushier." He also seems to be reverting to "baby talk" at times.

hearing loss? How will this hearing loss affect this patient in the
future if the loss remains untreated?
Group Member #3 – Intervention:
Is medical intervention necessary? If so, what is needed?
Is technology (HA / CI) necessary? If so, what is needed? What
features would be beneficial for this patient?
