My friend’s baby also failed the first screening but turned out okay after the detailed test, so try not to panic yet 🥺 The doctors usually recommend the in-depth test because ANSD can sometimes be missed on the other hearing tests, so they just want to be thorough while baby is still very young.
The fasting and sedative part sounds stressful, but these tests are quite commonly done in babies and the team will monitor closely. Early detection is really important because if there is an issue, intervention early on gives much better outcomes.
Maybe you can ask KKH:
* whether natural sleep ABR is possible instead of sedation
* exact fasting instructions based on baby’s age
* how long the procedure will take
Hopefully it’s just precautionary and everything comes back normal ❤️
