Brief Answer:
Investigations and referral to the super-specialty

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
I can understand the plight you are going through.

If the hearing is normal, speech should not be a problem. Consult an ENT Surgeon (known to work in Ear and speech) for an examination, referral to the super-specialty center and proper investigations including an MRI of the brain and ears.

Now with the advent of the Neuro-otology developing as a specialty, newer hearing tests, cochlear implants, speech therapists, specialty centers dealing with a specific problems , the success rate has increased well.
