Ah, the efficiencies of government.
Jerome Bartens, 11, was diagnosed as deaf in his right ear when he was just two. He struggled at school, couldn’t hear the TV properly and was fed up with people having to shout at him.
…
Jerome’s dad Carsten, 45, said: “It was just incredible - his hearing returned to normal in an instant. He was cured as suddenly as he became deaf. 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.
