It's a shame we had to go to an audiologist to find out for sure, but our little biscuit can hear. In case you didn't know, Noah failed his infant hearing screening. The doctor wasn't alarmed because a lot of infants fail the screening and end up with no hearing problems. However, since Noah is a man of few words so far, we brought it up at his 1 yr. checkup and we were referred for an audiologist. The main fear was more that there is a strong maternal history of male hearing problems than a true fear on our part that Noah can't hear us.
He passed the spoken voice localization test easily. He did not respond to the 2 tones she played but she said that was common in toddlers to fail to localize to sounds other than their name or whatnot. So we'll have to go again at some point in the future to make sure he is hearing all pitches and tones but he should have no problems hearing our voices and learning to talk.
