My baby failed his hearing test at the hospital. He failed the test again at 5 weeks and again at 7 weeks. The doctor has confirmed that there is no fluid in his ears.
We are sure that he is not completely deaf, because he startles when he hears a loud noise, but it is possible that he has some degree of hearing loss. There is NO congenital hearing loss in our family.
My husband's Cobra is about to run out, at which point we will be on Keystone Mercy, a Medicaid program. If our baby needs ear surgery or hearing aids, we are wondering if it would be beneficial to purchase insurance for him (so that he would have more than just medicaid.)
Does anyone have experience with this? What are the most common procedures that our baby might need?
