What is an abnormal hearing test result for a child?
Some children have a hearing test and get abnormal results. This means that your child's hearing is not normal. But it doesn't always mean that your child will have lasting hearing problems. Some types of hearing loss get better on their own. And others can be treated.
An abnormal hearing test may show problems with nerves involved in hearing. Or it may show that your child hears in one ear better than in the other. Sometimes it shows that your child hears sounds but is not able to hear them as words.
