Like a lot of young children, from the time she was a year old, Cassidy Clapp was plagued by one ear infection after another.
Usually, an ear infection diagnosis meant Cassidy would undergo a round of antibiotics. But when her Orange County pediatrician noticed the fluid wasn’t draining out of Cassidy’s ear, he recommended inserting tubes into the toddler’s ears.
“I think her hearing was 70-percent effected, by the fluid buildup” said Cassidy’s mother, Brittany Clapp. ”She always sounded like she was underwater and she didn’t have a lot of speech.”
Brittany and her husband, Charlie, tried as many natural remedies as they could to clear Cassidy’s ears--including acupuncture--but nothing worked. Still, the family was hesitant to have Cassidy undergo surgical anesthesia at such a young age.
“It just seemed like a lot of risk and my mom had bad reactions to anesthesia and I didn’t want Cassidy to go through that,” Brittany said.
