Question
Do premature infants need to undergo a detailed examination just like full-term newborns within 72 hours after birth?
Answer
According to your description, your baby’s first hearing test did not pass, but this does not necessarily indicate a problem. There could be other factors that interfered with the test results. Typically, another test is scheduled 42 days later. The heel prick test is the same as for full-term newborns.
