Newborn hearing test failed

Hi all, my newborn just failed hearing test on his right ear during discharge. Can anyone share your experience? First time mum here, worried about it. Thanks in advance. #firs1stimemom

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.

Yes, just let it dry off naturally (don't dig his ears etc) and when you bathe him, take care not to let water get into the ear.
