some sounds and get startled by loud noises even

impairment or loss in your child, it is
inevitable to have a hearing evaluation done by a
professional audiologist.

Myth 2 Babies require sedation during
assessments.Fact Infants under the age of 3
months are typically evaluated for their hearing
while theyre naturally sleeping. However, in
some cases the child to be evaluated may be given
a mild sedative to make them quiet and calm or
fall into sleep so that the test can be performed
properly.
