PDF Baby, Baby ……….. Do you hear me? - Maryland
Baby, Baby ........... Do you hear me?
Hearing loss is a hidden problem because babies cannot tell us that they do not hear!
Babies learn to talk during their first years of life. As your baby hears words, learning begins and speech develops.
Your baby's hearing was checked before he/she left the hospital and you helped the doctor identify any family risks for hearing loss.
Some babies are born with normal hearing and lose hearing later. High fevers, ear infections, injury to head or ears and some medicines can cause hearing loss.
Use the checklist on the back of the card to help you know if your baby is hearing and developing on schedule. If you say "no" for any two things in your baby's age level, your baby should have his/her hearing tested.
If you think there is a problem with your baby's hearing, do not put off getting help. Babies do not outgrow a hearing loss. A baby's hearing can be tested at any age.
Talk to your baby's doctor about getting a hearing test.
Call the Toll-Free Hearing Helpline if you have a question.
