My newborn ( he is 4 weeks old) failed 3 newborn hearing screens. He doesn't startle for loud noises and his pediatrician is worried about profound deafness. We are going to an audiologist for further test, but I was wondering if anyone has experienced this or has any ideas regarding teaching sign language if baby is indeed deaf
Thanks,
Bree
