In fact, the audiologist will get the best results if your baby is sound asleep during the hearing tests. You can help by:Keeping your baby awake for a few hours before the appointment.
- Waiting to feed your baby until just before testing begins.
- Bringing a comfortable, warm blanket.
- Having extra diapers on hand, just in case.
