How can i know if my baby has a hearing problem?

Failure to respond: If your baby is not startling to loud noises, that is a potential sign. Your baby should be turning to localize sounds coming from one direction or the other. Lastly, as your baby gets older, he or she should be babbling and cooing- failure to generate sounds at the appropriate age may be a reason to screen his or her hearing. If you have any doubts, discuss them with your pediatrician.
