Hearing test take 1

B has his first hearing test today at the audiology clinic. He will not cooperate though. I have no concerns about his hearing because he does respond to sounds but we've got to check his hearing to rule it out as a cause for delayed speech. We're in the TARDIS box (which is not bigger on the inside). They make sounds behind B's back and expect him to turn his whole head around to see the source of the noise. B chooses to flicker his eyes acknowledging the sound but refusing to turn his head. The staff know he can hear the noise but they don't pass him this time because he is not "ticking the boxes". He is like that B he is wants things on his terms and makes everything more awkward.
