I had natural delivery but my baby also failed his right ear hearing test so I had to repeat the test again when he was 2 weeks old. Don't worry about it as it takes time for the fluid to clear from his ear. My boy passed the test during the repeat test.
Did you delivered via c sect? Babies delivered via c sect have higher chance to fail because they cannot clear the fluid faster like normal delivery babies do. Maybe your baby needs more time to clear the fluid.
Any idea what’s the longest it will take? My baby still fail at 12 days and the nurse said the same thing that it’s common to fail and baby need more time to clear. I just can’t help but feel so worried.
My baby failed his hearing test too upon discharge. After discharged have to go appt for follow up after 2 weeks. Referred to ENT specialist. They did hearing test and pass.
Hello, did the ENT specialist use the same hearing test method to retest? My boy failed the same test again at day 12. Im going to ENT specialist at another hospital KKH to follow up. Can u share your experience to allay my fear? Thanks!
