Your baby will receive their hearing test about 12-16 hours after being born. It is safe and completely painless. A nurse or a hearing screener will meet with you and your baby to perform the test and answer any questions.
If your baby has any hearing loss, it's important to find out early and address it. Hearing plays a big role in speech and language development. Our team will guide you through the steps to take if hearing loss is found.
