Hearing Screening For Your Newborn The Birthing Center is interested in your infants hearing since hearing loss affects people of all ages, even infants. We do many routine health assessments on our newborns in order to assure a healthy start in life. Newborn hearing screening is a mandatory test preformed on all infants. The staff is well trained to efficiently administer the test which allows for early diagnosis and interventions. The hearing screening test is noninvasive and completely harmless. It is often completed when the baby is sleeping. The test is performed in the newborn nursery where it is quiet. Feel free to ask questions or come into the nursery and see how it is done. We are committed to identifying newborns with hearing loss while they are still very young. When an infant does not pass the hearing screen we will repeat the test. If the infant still fails to pass the hearing screen then further testing will be scheduled. Early diagnosis will improve your child's ability to achieve normal social, emotional and language development by obtaining early referrals and interventions.
