Newborn Hearing Screening

This hasn’t happened to me but it happened to my friend and it turns out her son was totally fine! Sorry I don’t have any details but hope it gives you a little positivity ☺️

Yes me! I knew she could hear as I dropped something and she jumped 😂 The further test came back fine just slightly lower in one ear due to fluid but she could still hear absolutely fine. PDue to re test when she’s nearly 1 X

This happened to us, except my son was born at 33 weeks and it turned out his ear canals were closed (called aural atresia). He has hearing aids and hears fine with them! He's not considered deaf just profoundly hard of hearing. If this happens to you, feel free to reach out to me. I know how overwhelming all this can be! Goodluck!

This happened to us too. Went to another hospital and it was all clear! They said it ‘failed’ because of the background noise. All will be fine don’t worry x

My son failed his hearing test after birth as well. 17 years later and he’s just fine 🥰 stay positive

Mine failed as well and the passed. One thing we learned: they have to be sleeping when they get the exam, with no noise outside and not moving. Good luck!

This happened to me I was extremely anxious about it and had to wait over 2 weeks too which felt tedious. Absolutely nothing wrong with his hearing and was told it was likely because he was reviewed closely to the c section. What I did in the meantime was take him to a cranial osteopath as we had some latching issues/overbite and I mentioned the ears and he assured me he felt there was nothing wrong and probably a case of the fluid needing to be drained. In hindsight, I was so anxious that I think if I had my time again I’d privately have him seen to (if I could at that time £). Wishing you all the best!
