We saw the ENT this morning. They had an audiologist do another round of tests for her hearing and she actually passed! She did say that there was fluid behind that left ear still so we waited for the doctor to check her out.
He came in and looked in her ears and explained, in detail, what was going on. He then gave her a nose spray (which she'll be on for at least the next 4 weeks) and told her to "pop her ears." That required her to hold her nose, close her mouth and blow. While she did that, he was looking in her ear to see if any of the fluid escaped. I don't know if it did or not but he told her to do that 10 times a day until we go back in July. He did say that she shouldn't do it that day since he wants to see what her untouched ears look like. He's hoping that the air pressure will blow out the excess fluid. If it does, we're good, if not, we'll schedule the tubes.
Wow, this is a long process. Hannah's just happy that she doesn't need tubes right now.
Next up, Ruby's vet appointment.

So it's wait and see with Hannah's ears. Hope this works and that she doesn't need tubes. However, there could be worse things.
I remember having to do the ear pop thing. It hurts me to the point of tears, so I can't do it. Makes everything really freaking loud, too. Hopefully that helps her, though.
I had never heard of it before. She doesn't seem to mind doing it...for now.
It sounds promising. I hope this works.
