Question
My baby is 4 and a half months old, and when I call him from the right side, he seems to pay extra attention but doesn’t turn his head to look. I’m worried there might be a hearing problem.
Answer
If your description is accurate and you are concerned about your baby’s hearing, it’s advisable to have an audiometric test done to confirm if there is an issue. Usually, a hearing test is conducted at birth, so unless there are special circumstances, your baby’s hearing is typically not a problem. I hope my explanation is helpful, and wish your baby a speedy recovery.
