Not sure where to put this!! Mckenzie was diagnosed with moderate hearing loss in 1 ear at bith. She now has it in both ears 🙁 But after lots of testing it’s been discovered that it’s from fluid in her middle ears… The hearing test lady commented on how snuffly she is. I said she was always like that and told her about the silent reflux & possible dairy intolerance…. She said it could all be related because of excess fluid/mucus from an allergy/intolerance… Thoughts anyone?
yes. fluid gets up in the ears from reflux.
find marci-kds dosing of PPI and see if it helps…click here:then scroll down to where it says:What is EER?
Extra-esophageal reflux refers to reflux that results in damage to airway structures. If gastric fluid escapes the esophagus through the upper esophageal sphincter and enters the trachea, ears, sinuses, or mouth, symptoms may occur that are similar to those arising from allergies or infection. EER may cause respiratory problems such as coughing, wheezing, stridor, and even asthma. EER can cause sore throat, hoarseness, or laryngitis, and has also been associated with sinusitis and ear infections. Also, gastric acid that reaches the mouth can result in tooth enamel erosion.
