No noises bothered him, even the dog barking. If he was asleep and being held, he slept like rock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-not-passing-hearing-screen#post-1716245 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 11:40:07 +0000 LovelyPlum 1716245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I will gladly drive out to you and punch them in the face if that happens.</p> <p>Seriously, THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT. And whatever happens, it will be OK. He is beautiful and perfect and YOU ARE NOT A BAD MOM. Period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-not-passing-hearing-screen#post-1716225 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 11:32:17 +0000 spaniellove 1716225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I feel so guilty because I have an auditory processing disorder and although I know that's not the same thing part of me wonders if I passed on my hearing issues, and I'm afraid my ILs will blame me. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-not-passing-hearing-screen#post-1716220 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 11:30:28 +0000 spaniellove 1716220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: @pui: @Smurfette: We're supposed to take him to an audiologist to do more extensive testing. </p> <p>@matador84: We used to joke even before he was born that he might have hearing issues because he never had a response to any noises, and during NSTs when they put the buzzer next to his head his heart rate didn't change. In the last few weeks I think once I heard him grunt after the dog barked, but we've marveled at how we can keep him in the family room and he doesn't react to anything, and he can sleep through the farmers market with the live band (bad newborn mommy)...but I thought that was just newborn behavior. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-not-passing-hearing-screen#post-1716207 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 11:26:11 +0000 jhd 1716207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO failed his but passed it when the audiologist did the test around 6 weeks old.

Do you already have an appointment with the audiologist? We took N to one that worked namely with kids. (His was fine, but they have a great options do little ones if not). I will be thinking about you guys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-not-passing-hearing-screen#post-1716092 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 10:42:13 +0000 matador84 1716092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is crazy. Have you noticed anything that might lead you to think there is hearing loss? (Doesn't jolt if a door slams, etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-not-passing-hearing-screen#post-1716064 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 10:32:29 +0000 Smurfette 1716064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: oh no!

Took him to an audiologist later, and he passed just fine. Also, went again between 6 and 9 months just to be certain there was not later onset hearing loss...passed again. Almost 15 months now, and no problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-not-passing-hearing-screen#post-1686765 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 16:40:11 +0000 lilyann 1686765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS #2 (born 6/1/14) passed on the right ear but failed on the left side after multiple attempts in the hospital.

We had to do it twice because she wouldn't keep still, but she eventually passed. The nurse said it's fairly common for newborns to fail the screen at first, but eventually they pass. I'm thinking of you! </p>
