So would you call the dr?

Ds is 6 and lately when we ask him a question from how was school or to do a chore or aomething like that he ignores us. When we get louder and get frustrated he says he didn't hear us. It seems to be getting worse. I'm not sure if it's an attention issue or a hearing issue or something else. His teacher hasn't mentioned any problems at school. Do you think it's worth a check or I'm being dramAtic and he just isn't listening to us?

There should be an audiologist at school who could check him for you and yes, I'd have them check. Then you know for sure its not his hearing.

No harm in checking right? Then you'll have a much better idea of how to proceed.

I would check. We had concerns with DD2 for the same reasons. Her hearing was fine, but it was a relief to know for sure.

I would get it checked. Seems like the easiest thing to start with.
