Question
The baby failed the hearing screening at 42 days. Is there a possibility of passing the re-test at 3 months? How common is this situation?
Answer
The child should be re-checked at 3 months and should also be observed at home. If the child responds to sounds from music, toys, or closing doors, there is usually no need to worry. Encourage outdoor activities and sun exposure, avoid picky eating, and supplement with cod liver oil appropriately.
