What to do if baby fails hearing screen?

Many babies fail the initial OAE (otoacoustic emission) hearing screen, (as many as 10%) mainly related to fluid in the middle ear canal around the immediate postnatal period. However, most of these babies pass on the repeat test done a few days to weeks later. But be sure to repeat by 3-4 weeks of age, and not delay in case further testing and action is needed ( in case of hearing loss).

    Hi doctor, My baby born at 37 weeks was IUGR and failed hearing test. BERA also failed after one month. They asked to repeat bera after one more month. What can be done? Does this hearing loss improve on his own?? He is only hearing loud noises. But not below 80 is what the test says. But he does respod to sounds sometimes. Sometimes he doesn't.

    Hi, it would need further testing by ENT and audiology and treatment would depend on their findings. Best wishes

    You could ask for ABR test next time instead of OAE

    They will do further tests like ABR and review with an audiologist. Don’t worry, the health system is good and if any treatment is needed, it will be started by 6 months

    I think you can wait a bit longer for maturation to progress, repeat after 2 months or 6 months of age (did they say deafness as well or only maturation delay)?
