Infant Hearing Test
Here at McLaren Greater Lansing we utilize the automated auditory brain stem response (AABR) testing method. The first screening will not occur until at least 12 hours of age. Should the newborn fail the first screening, a second screening will be performed prior to discharge. If the newborn fails the hearing test a second time, the staff will notify you and provide you a referral to an audiologist for further evaluation.
