Hearing failure in newborns may be normal, but abnormalities cannot be ruled out.
There are many reasons for newborns not passing the hearing test, for example, the presence of cerumen impaction in the external auditory canal or amniotic fluid embolism will affect the hearing screening and lead to hearing failure, and some babies may not be sensitive to external sounds, so this may also lead to hearing failure, which is usually a normal phenomenon.
For the above situations, you can have a 2nd screening 42 days after the initial screening, and if your baby still fails the 2nd screening, you can have a 3rd screening 3 months after birth.
If a newborn fails all three screening tests, it is important to pay attention to the fact that there may be an abnormality, such as congenital hearing loss, in which case it is necessary to go to the hospital for further examination to make a clear diagnosis, and then targeted treatment.
Newborn hearing is not pass parents must regularly review, if there are abnormalities, active treatment.
