When Should Baby Turn Head to Voice?

By 3 or 4 months of age, babies are usually able to turn their heads toward a sound.

Why is my baby not responding to my voice?

If a sound is repeated too often, young babies lose interest and may stop responding altogether. This is called habituation. Babies with significant hearing impairments may be unfamiliar with many sounds around them. It might take some time after the hearing aid has been fitted to see clear signs of hearing.

How do I know if my baby has hearing problems?

Signs of hearing loss in your baby can include: Not being startled by loud sounds. Not turning toward a sound after he's 6 months old. Not saying single words like “mama” or “dada” by the time he's 1 year old.
