Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I have posted here a few times about our daughter Lucy - 4 months old who failed her newborn hearing screening. She failed a second one at 3 weeks of age and had an ABR done at 8 weeks that showed a mild-moderate loss. To make a long story short, we have since found a new audiologist that we really like and we are taking our time with things which is fine with me. The Audiologist wants to do some behavioral tests on her in a few weeks to see her reactions (oh we don't have hearing aids yet). I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there who had an infant with a mild-moderate loss. Call it denial, but I am not convinced of her hearing loss. I referred to a pamphlet that I was given by our state about hearing loss and Lucy falls into zero of the categories. She coos, startles at sounds, turns to hear different sounds and voices..etc. Why would I think there was a loss? Am I crazy or are these normal reactions for a baby with a mild-moderate loss? I recently spoke to someone whose baby failed the hearing screening 4 times and finally at 5 months old, he passed. Could hearing still be developing in a baby this young? I am just so confused and am having a really hard time accepting this. Has anyone else been through this? Thanks. Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
