my daughter had on that showed slight hearing loss due to fluid on the ear drum she had a follow up with the doctor the fluid was gone and her hearing is fine
they may have done the first on to check hearing
the second to double check it wasnt just becasue of a cold or any other reason and if it wasnt
the third would be because they will need to check what ear has the hearing loss and to what extent
