Failing newborn hearing screening test
Hi..my 3 days old baby failed the newborn hearing screening test on both ears. The oediatrician said that it could be due to wax vernix or a technical erroe..also he was born through c section at 37 weeks...what is the next step? i am very worried and depressed. i cannot wait for onw more month to repeat the test. is there a quicker confirmatory test my baby can take?
