What Else Causes Hearing Loss in Babies?
Some babies will fail the initial screening test but may have absolutely normal hearing. There are several reasons for this but most commonly: • vernix in the ear canal • fluid in the middle ear • movement/crying during the test The only real way to assure accurate results with your baby’s hearing is follow up testing. It is important to keep in mind that it does not matter how old your baby is, there are effective and accurate tests that are used to determine your baby’s hearing.
