At one month old, what level should a baby's hearing reach?

Patient's question:

At one month old, what level of hearing should a baby achieve?

Doctor's answer:

Since newborns' ear canals are not fully developed, their hearing is not very sensitive, but they do have a reflex response to loud sounds, such as blinking or trembling. By the age of 2 weeks, infants can focus their hearing, and by 3 months, they can orient themselves toward sounds. Based on your description, it appears that the child can hear you and also has physical responses, which indicates that the child's hearing is normal and there are no issues.
