Are you SERIOUS!!!!! smh (shaking my head) that's not a coincidence at all. Nothing surprises me about the Mirena....it's vicious and the makers know it. It not only destroyed us but effected our children too. I didn't allow them to put the tubes in his ears just yet bc he's still too young and drs. suggested I wait until he's 3 to check his earring. Thus far he doesn't show signs of damaged hearing although he speaks loud and his speech is a lil funny. Prayerfully he'll grow out of it. I did contact early intervention services to work with his speech.
