Hearing Loss in Babies, Ages 7 Months to 1 Year

Overview

You can watch your baby's behavior to check for hearing loss. If you notice a change, your baby might have hearing loss.

Does your baby:

• Listen when spoken to?
• Turn or look up when you call their name?
• Respond to requests like "come here" or "want more?"
• Recognize words for common items like cup, shoe, or juice?
