“When should children be checked for hearing?”

Children that are born in hospitals are screening with a newborn hearing screening to determine if the baby's hearing is functional. If they fail the first assessment, they are referred for a second screening or to a specialist. However, as your child grows, they can develop a temporary hearing loss from middle ear fluid and/or infections. These typically resolve with medical treatment. Risk factors for middle ear fluid/infections include but are not limited to: allergies, smoking in the house around the child, and syndromes.

Hearing is screened at birth and again anytime there are suspected issues. I suggest following up with a Primary Care Physician.

In most states, newborns get their hearing screened. Did she not have her hearing screened at birth? If you have a concern speak with your doctor for a referral to a pediatric audiologist and make an appointment for an audiology assessment.
