My mom used to put my sister in her swing and put the vacuum cleaner right under her. It was the only way she could sleep, she still sleeps with a fan on all the time. Her hearing is good, typical teenager in the aspect she only hears what she wants to hear. My mom burned out her vac motor and hod to replace it.
It's good that they can sleep through it. Mothers who have to have the room totally silent for the baby to sleep are asking for trouble. The more noise, the better they can adapt to their surroundings.

Definitely not. While in the womb, your baby was hearing loud noises just as loud as a vacuum cleaner. That is why she sleeps so well while the vacuum in running. This all may change when she gets older. Relish it while it lasts.

My daughter was colic and used to cry, cry, cry! The only thing that would make her stop was when I turned the vacuum on. I'm really surprised I didn't burn the motor out of thing but she's 3 1/2 now and she can hear just fine.
Apparently when am baby is in the womb it sounds very similar to the sound of a vacuum or blow dryer. I really don't think it would affect your baby's hearing, I mean as long as it's not right beside her/his head! Talk to your doctor about it.

Your question shocked me. My son is 43 years old. When he was an infant he had colic. He never quit crying. It was not a good time. One day when I turned on the vacuum, he shut up!
Turn it off and he would wail again. It was the only thing that would shut him up.
No, I don't think it can cause hearing loss. Look at the loud, deafening music they listen to as teens. If they don't have problems from that, the vacuum sure won't hurt him. At that point I really didn't care anyway......................I used that vacuum so often that as he got older, he thought it was a sibling.

Probably not. While you were pregnant, baby was hearing all the outside noises of the womb along with the steady beating of mommy's heart. So outside the womb, some background noise...or a steady noise like a vacuum, steady traffic, a fan... noises that are pretty steady and even rhythmic, will soothe a lot of babies.
If you do notice any signs of hearing loss (i.e. slow or no reaction to sudden noises or loud noises) contact your pediatrician ASAP.
Count yourself lucky that your little one LIKES the sound of the vacuum enough to sleep to it, and doesn't throw a fit at the noise :)

NO. My second child was the same way he would not sleep unless there was White noise in the room. This was back in the days before those audio tapes made for babies so my husband took a recording of static on the radio and we would play in at night on a soft level and the baby would fall asleep. One night was horrible. I was out of battiers, a friend had borrowed the vaccuum and I could not get that child to go to sleep. It is a wonder that we live through those times.

If you are menaing that your baby can sleep through you vacumming, everyhting is O.K. This cannot cause hearing loss as long as it is not right next to the babies ear. This is actually good for the baby and yourself. It means you no longer have to turn everything off and keep the house totally nopiseless to get your baby to sleep. You can watch T.V. or have conversations or even freinds over and your baby will be accustomed to the noise and sleep through it.

No, but congratulations on having a settled & secure baby. If your baby sleeps through the noise of the vacuum, S/he must feel secure.

Huh? You mean you vacuum while she sleeps? Or does she somehow need vacuum noise to sleep?
In general, no permanent damage is likely form the vacuum. It's not high enough in decibels.
