The baby is now one month old, the blood taken at birth does not represent the ear.

Patient's question:

The baby is now one month old. Blood was taken at birth. Today, they called to say the epilepsy test result is mildly positive. When the baby was 10 days old, they had a hearing test at the hospital and passed. Passing doesn't mean the baby can hear, right?

Doctor's answer:

According to your current description, it might be an issue with the epilepsy gene test. If the hearing screening hasn't passed, further testing is needed. Even if the screening passes, regular hearing rechecks are still required. A recheck should be done at 42 days after birth.
Regarding the explanation about "The blood sample taken from the baby now at 1 month old passed, doesn't that mean the baby can hear?"—this is all the information for now. We hope the patient can soon be free from the burden of the disease and stay healthy every day~
