another question on hearing
Hi,
The other post on ear infections made we wonder about infant/toddler hearing. My DD just turned 1yr old. She only responds to loud sounds in quite rooms. I can play a Baby Einstein video and mute it and she isn't phased. She just keeps watching. She doesn't respond to music, or our voices at all. Audio stimulation does nothing for her. She can point at things, remembers people and she is very curious. Is this common for a 1yr old? She just tunes out all audio stimulation it seems and works off touch and sight. She doesn't have fluid build-up in her ears, no ear infections ever. Is it worth seeing an audiologist? -Sammy |

They have a portable machine that makes noises in their ears (beeps and pips) and looks for changes in brain wave activity. The machine works best when the baby is asleep! Is it worth seeing an audiologist? If you are worried yes. PS Our boys are two years old - they don't always respond to voices when watching TV either :-). |

PS Our boys are two years old - they don't always respond to voices when watching TV either :-). This isn't with tv. She spoke two words (cat,dog) and was able to point them out and recognize them properly when we were on walks. She recognized them in books and called them out. She responded to her name and then all of this slowly went away. I took her into the doctor and the doctor said I was over reacting and that babies at 10months don't speak anyway. He checked her ears for fluid and said it probably wasn't there. I have felt like an idiot for the last week thinking I'm over reacting but decided to see an ENT doc to have her ears properly checked by an audiologist. |

I mean it can't really hurt to get her checked out. We had to take one of our boys to an ENT doc. He had three or four colds in a row that caused ear infections. The doc gave him a good check and said he might need to put in a drain or grommet in his ear if this keeps up - but he's been fine ever since. If you are worried about her development hang onto any video you have of her taken when she was 10 months. Colin |
