Baby failed the hearing screening at 42 days and will be retested at 3 months.

Patient's question:

Baby failed the hearing screening at 42 days. Will it be possible to pass the recheck at 3 months? How common is this situation?

Doctor's answer:

It's recommended to have a follow-up check when the child is three months old. Additionally, it's important to observe the child at home. If the child reacts to sounds like music, toys, or the sound of closing doors, it's usually not a concern. Encourage outdoor activities, let the child get some sunlight, and avoid picky eating. Appropriately supplement with fish oil.
