Babies are amazing: they can sleep right through the telephone ringing and the dog barking. This is very normal and doesn't indicate that your baby has a hearing problem but, rather, that she needs her sleep. It's better to test your baby's hearing when she's awake and alert. Here are a few quick tests you can do to check her hearing: • If your baby is under three months, clap your hands behind her head. If she startles, she's fine. http://www.flixya.com/blog/msnty1
If she doesn't, repeat a few times. • If your baby is a bit older, between four and six months, she should have some head control. Call her name to see if she turns toward or reacts to your voice. She might also turn her eyes or head to look for an interesting sound. As hearing and talking are linked, by four months old your baby should start to make cooing sounds and other noises. • Between six and 10 months, your child should respond to her name and familiar environmental sounds, such as the ringing of the phone or the roar of the vacuum cleaner.

• Between 10 and 15 months, she should be able to point to a familiar object in a picture book when asked. If there's no response to any of these tests, consult your doctor or health visitor. Since the vast majority of babies have excellent hearing, it's probably just a temporary loss caused by a cold. Or she may simply be too engrossed in something else to take notice. All babies are now to be routinely tested after birth to pick up any possible hearing problems early on. Your baby may also have a hearing assessment at six to nine months by your health visitor. If there's no apparent problem, but you're still worried, ask for another appointment.

Hearing helps children learn about the world and communicate. You can stimulate your baby's sense of hearing by: • Popping in a CD or turning on the radio. Children love music so point out the tinkling of the piano and the clashing of the cymbals. • Talking to your child and reading to her. Nothing stimulates a child's intelligence more than hearing you talk. Don't endlessly bombard your child with words, but if she seems interested, tell her what you're doing. For example, if you're packing her nappy bag, give her a vivid description of what you're including. When you dress her, name the colour and type of garment you're slipping over her head and describe the lacy quality of the socks you're putting on her feet. It's a good idea to turn the radio, TV or music off sometimes so that your baby can hear your voice on it's own sometimes.
