Question
At what level should an infant’s hearing be at one month old?
Answer
Given the incomplete development of the newborn ear, infants’ hearing is relatively insensitive at one month old. However, they will respond to loud sounds by blinking and trembling momentarily. By two weeks after birth, infants begin to focus on sounds, and by three months old, they can respond to the direction of sound sources. Based on your description, your child responds to sounds and shows physical reactions, which indicates normal hearing and no issues.
