    My baby A ( 32w1d), has failed every single hearing test they did. He ended up going under anesthesia at 18 months and had an ABR done. It turned out he has a high riding jugular bulb. He can hear just fine, but it creates some pressure and can't pass the normal test.

    I highly recommend doing an ABR while I'm the NICU so you don't have to worry about it later. It's a noninvasive procedure and usually when they're babies they don't need sedation until they're over 6 months.

    Hope that helps!

    Mine were not in the NICU, but my Baby A failed her hearing screening twice at the hospital, and passed a week or so later.  Any number of things can cause the failure (distraction, other sounds in the room, fluid in the ear, faulty machine), so try not to worry. Remember that it is testing for very faint sounds, so even if your LO doesn't pass, it doesn't mean deafness or serious hearing loss.  It may be something very simple.
