Question
The baby’s 42-day hearing screening failed. Is there a possibility of passing the retest at 3 months, and how common is this situation?
Answer
The child needs to have their hearing retested at 3 months and should be observed at home for their reactions to sounds. If the baby responds to music, toy sounds, or door sounds, there is usually no need to worry too much. It is recommended to take the child outdoors more often, expose them to sunlight, avoid picky eating, and supplement with cod liver oil appropriately.
