This baby is just 1 day old, but she is already getting a hearing test.
Dr. Joscelyn Martin says approximately 4 out of every 1,000 babies born in the U.S. have some degree of hearing loss. Two noninvasive and painless screening tests can help identify them.
With the first test, the baby listens to clicking sounds. And if the inner ear works, it sends a sound out that the technology can measure.
