Any mamas experience their babies failing their infant hearing test at the hospital and then everything being fine? Our sweet babe just failed in one ear and I’m just curious is anyone has experienced the same.

Our babe failed the first hospital test, they said there are lots of different reasons why it happens.  They retested and everything was fine

my daughter was born end of August — she had to take the hearing test 4 separate times before she finally passed in one ear. She was born via c-section & they said babies can get more fluid in their ear canal and it takes time for the body to absorb it. Don’t fret!

My baby girl failed her hearing test in one ear twice at the hospital. We were told it could be a lot of fluid. Went back 2 weeks later and she passed in both.

My baby failed twice at the hospital so we have to go back next week to get it rechecked. They said she just had a lot of fluid in her ears that needed to come out first.

yes our baby failed twice at the hospital and then we went back a few days later and she passed. I had a c-section and the screener said that c section babies fail a lot the first few times because they don’t go through the birth canal so the vernex in their ears don’t get squeezed out. Even if you didn’t have a c section it seems to be the most likely cause for why babies fail at first. They said it’s completely normal and not a cause for concern.
