Don't let a doctor destroy your baby's hearing

 

As about 2% of babies born in the United States do, Alex Resnick failed the routine newborn hearing screening he received before he left the hospital. At first his parents didn't think much of it, since the nurse told them further testing often shows the baby is fine. But six weeks later when those additional tests showed Alex had moderate to severe hearing loss, his mother's heart sank.

"It was like somebody knocked the wind out of me," Haleh Resnick remembers.
