What Causes Difficulty In Hearing?
Hello, my grandson is 4 days old. He is not responding to loud noises. When he first came home (I m staying with my daughter), he seemed to hear and liked singing and our voices. Also, he now has a raspy voice, or hardly any voice at all. He was at the pediatrician yesterday (in Bangladesh) and got a clean bill of health, but the machine that checks hearing is broken so we have to wait. Could there be wax or other in the ear causing reduced hearing? And what about the loss of voice? He does not seem to have a cold.
