Everybody says to have your childs hearing checked but how do they check a childs hearing that is under 1 year of age?

Clap your hands and see if they flinch. Maybe you could try seeking on one side of them and calling their name and see if they try to find you.

I know that when you're in the hospital with your baby, they attach sensors to their heads to check to see if they respond in someway. Not exactly sure how though.

My niece's daughter was born on the 9th of July and the next day the nurse came in to give her(the baby) a hearing test.. What they do is put like a headphone on her and then they put something behind her next and connect her to the machine and it will do it automatically.. I thought it was neat... but thought by doing that would damages their ears but apparently she slept through it but it did show that she was able to hear.. Good luck! Hope that helps.

They put this little thing in their ear (sort of like a microphone) and when they play a sound it actually shows a bounced wave on a computer screen indicating that the sound was delivered..
