If your baby has a “REFER” on an initial hearing screening, re-screening should be done no later than 1 month. Both the ears should be tested separately at the rescreening, even if only one ear has shown a “REFER” at the initial screening. Your baby needs to undergo detailed audiological evaluation. This would include tests such as a BERA (ABR), behavioral audiometry, repeat OAE, etc. to confirm if the baby has hearing loss.
