Give Your Baby the Best Start in Life with Early Hearing Detection
A baby’s ability to hear is essential for speech, language development, and overall learning. Even in the first few months of life, hearing plays a key role in bonding with parents and recognizing sounds. That’s why early hearing detection is so important. At Advance Hearing Center, we offer safe, accurate, and gentle baby hearing test services to ensure your little one’s hearing health is carefully monitored from the very beginning.
Why Baby Hearing Tests Are Important
Hearing loss in infants can be difficult to notice at home because babies may still respond to loud noises or vibrations. However, even mild hearing loss can affect language growth and communication skills later in life. Research shows that early identification and intervention within the first six months of life significantly improve outcomes for children with hearing challenges.
Our newborn hearing screening and infant ear tests are designed to detect any issues early, giving your child the best opportunity for healthy development.
When Should Babies Have Their Hearing Tested?
- At Birth, Most hospitals recommend a newborn hearing screening before discharge. This helps identify any immediate concerns.
- Within the First Month: If your baby missed their hospital screening, schedule a baby ear check as soon as possible.
- Ongoing Monitoring: If your child has risk factors such as premature birth, family history of hearing loss, frequent ear infections, or NICU stay, follow-up tests may be required.
At Advance Hearing Center, we provide both initial newborn screening and follow-up pediatric audiometry to track hearing development as your baby grows. Learn more in our resource on types of hearing aids for children diagnosed with hearing loss.
Types of Baby Hearing Tests We Offer
We use advanced, non-invasive methods that are safe and comfortable for infants.
1. Newborn Hearing Screening (OAE Test)
- Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) testing measures how the inner ear (cochlea) responds to sound.
- Soft sounds are played into the baby’s ear, and a small device measures the response.
- This test is quick, painless, and often completed while the baby is asleep.
2. Automated Auditory Brainstem Response (AABR) Test
- This test measures how the auditory nerve and brainstem respond to sound.
- Small sensors are placed on the baby’s head while gentle clicking sounds are played through earphones.
- The results show whether the brain is detecting sound properly.
3. Pediatric Audiometry for Older Infants
- For babies older than six months, pediatric audiometry may involve behavioral testing, where responses to sounds are observed.
- These tests are designed to be engaging and age-appropriate, ensuring accurate results while keeping the child comfortable.

Parents are often concerned about whether the test will cause discomfort. Rest assured:
- The baby ear check is completely safe, non-invasive, and painless.
