Screening Results
A screening result is either a pass or a refer. A pass means that a baby's hearing is fine at that time, however, a hearing concern may develop at a later age and it is very important to watch for signs of hearing loss as a baby grows. Our list of milestones will help you to monitor your child’s hearing and language development.
Your baby can receive a refer result for:
- debris in ear canal from delivery
- moving too much during the test
- being conjested
- for the room being too noisy during the test
If your baby did not pass, it means that the baby will need another hearing
screen. An appointment will be arranged at a location closest to your home.
