About 1 or 2 in every 100 babies will need tests with an audiologist after the screening test. These tests need to be done when a baby is still likely to sleep a lot during the day and you will be sent an appointment for the test within 4 weeks. If your baby was born early you will be sent an appointment for the test within 8 weeks. This allows time for your baby's hearing pathway to develop.
