NEW GLUE EAR WEBSITE !!

I have been working on a new site for a while now. I wanted to put it up because there appears to be nothing in depth about this condition, for parents in particular, to refer to when trying to find out about this condition. Since my son was first diagnosed when he was three he has had three grommets insertions and his tonsilles and adenoids removed. Though the glue itself can no longer build up he continues to suffer ear infections on a regular basis, roughly six a year. He is affected by pain, recurrent hearing loss and these have cause a number of behavioral issues and speech and language delay. The language delay inevitably has caused communication problems. The problems that my son has had have brought me in contact with many professionals and over time i have done extensive research on the subject. My sad conclusion is that there is a severe lack of information, advice or appropriate help for parents wishing to get help for their children and wishing to understand how the varying degrees of glue ear affect children.
There is no in depth site on the web that tackles Glue Ear thoroughly or provides a resource and support for parents. So i decided to create one. It is in it's infancy so check it out and keep in touch with it as it is set to grow quickly and become an interactive in depth resource.
