Hi, if there is only decrease in recognition of name and if other milestones are normal like motor milestones, social milestones then there is problem in hearing only and and ENT examination should be done to find out the cause of decrease hearing. On the other hand, if there is delay in other milestones then there are chances of developmental delay. In case of developmental delay, an MRI brain should be done, fundus examination of eye should be done, proper examination of reflexes should be done. I think you should get the child examined by doctor so that proper diagnosis can be made. Open YouTube application on mobile and search Doctor Deepak Patel. Watch video on normal milestones in children. Subscribe for more health related videos. Take care.

Dear Concerned, It will be a good idea to get your baby's HEARING Evaluation done to rule out any HEARING loss..All course of treatment depends on the HEARING level. Moreover, another information provided by you about his delayed speech makes it more important to rule out hearing loss..best of speaking and HEARING..
