[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - DS passed the one they gave him at birth and pediatrician didn’t think he had hearing loss when she examined him. That being said if the therapist ordered it, we would happily do it.[/quote]

Fwiw, my good friend has substantial congential hearing loss that wasn't picked up until kindergarten. My nephew also had issues (due to frequent infections) that weren't picked up until he started seeing an ENT. Fortunately a hearing test with an audiologist is easy/noninvasive. [/quote]

My child passed the newborn hearing screen. Was referred to county services by the pediatrician at one for speech delays. Neither the pediatrician nor the speech therapist suggested the hearing screening. Daycare flagged it around 18 months. Hearing loss doesn’t present itself like most people think. Yes, they can hear you are making a sound (at a mild/medium loss) but it’s unclear depending on the frequency. The earliest intervention possible is key. That’s why it’s being recommended.
