Hearing Loss in Babies

In the United States,  2 to 3 babies out of every 1,000 born will have some degree of hearing loss at birth.  The hearing loss can vary greatly among babies and may be due to causes such as a family history of hearing loss.
  • Does your baby awaken or stir at loud sounds?
  • Does your baby notice rattles and other sound-making toys?
  • Does your baby respond to his or her name?
  • Does your baby repeat some sounds that you make?
  • Does your baby put two or more words together?
If you answered "no” to any of the above questions, your baby may have a hearing problem.  Please visit the Lexington Hearing and Speech Center to learn more.  If you feel isolated or overwhelmed, please visit the Lexington Mental Health Center for support.
