How come doctors could not realized that he had a piece of cotton inside his ear? Imagine, he was deaf for 9 years!

An 11-year-old boy from Britain, who was deaf for nearly 10 years, was suddenly cured when a thick piece of cotton popped out of his ear, according to a report in the Daily Mail. Jerome Bartens was diagnosed as deaf in his right ear when he was just two-years-old. Over the next nine years, he struggled to live a normal life as a young boy - but everything changed when he felt a sudden pop in his right ear while playing a game of pool with friends. He put his finger in his ear and pulled out a tip of a cotton wool bud that had been wedged in his ear since he was a toddler. "It was just incredible - his hearing returned to normal in an instant," Barten's dad said. "I had always suspected Jerome had stuck something in his ear when he was little and that was causing the problem. But the doctors and hearing specialists said it was wax and he would probably grow out of it." |
I am with you on that one! That is totally unacceptable and with the technology today it seems as if they could do something to test to see if it was wax or something else. WOW!
