Testing Required: All babies should have their hearing tested at birth, before they leave the hospital. However, even if your baby passes the test, if you are ever concerned that they are not hearing normally or they are not developing their verbal skill normally, the testing should be repeated.

Hearing test: If your baby was born in south carolina a hearing test was done before they left the hospital. You should be able to tell if your baby turns towards noises or is startled by a loud noise. If not, talk to your doctor about having their hearing retested.
