    I liked that you mentioned that a newborns hearing test is done through an auditory brainstem response evaluation and it’s done while the baby is asleep. I was curious about how my daughter’s hearing test worked when she got her hearing tested after she was born. It’s interesting that it measures brainwaves in response to the sounds being played.

    My niece has had a lot of ear infections even as an infant. Now that she is becoming a toddler, we suspect that she can’t hear as well as she should. She does not respond to voice without raising the volume of our speech. Thank you for pointing out that many ear infections can actually cause some hearing issues. When you mentioned that delayed speech can be an indication as well, we became concerned since this is also something that we have noticed in her. We will be sure to contact a pediatric hearing specialist by next week.
