Central Hearing Loss in Infants
Central hearing loss in babies is a difficulty processing sounds that does not originate in the ear itself, but in the pathways and centers of the nervous system responsible for interpreting what is heard.
Signs to watch for: In the youngest children, little response to sounds, delayed babbling, or difficulty reacting to the voice may be noticed, even though the ear appears to work.
Why detecting it matters: Hearing is key to language development, so identifying any difficulty early supports timely support.
Which specialist evaluates it? The otolaryngologist and the pediatrician work together to study the baby's hearing. If you sense that your child does not respond to sounds as you would expect, it's a good idea to mention it at a checkup.
