Even in the hospital when the nurse put something in his ears to monitor his earing, she put it at the lowest decibel and still he responded, she said that babies dont normally respond to the lowest decibel noise made in their ears. How about your baby is she/he sensitive to noise?

He was when he was really young. Now he can sleep through most things.

It seems the more noise a baby is exposed to in utero, the better used to noises he'll be after he's born. My guess is if you were always in a quiet environment during your pregnancy, your baby hasn't been conditioned to block out noises. Hopefully that's the case, but I don't see how there could be anything technically "wrong" with him, so don't let some of these answers scare you unnecessarily.
You can help to desensitise your baby from noises by exposing to him more sounds. (Nothing really loud or deafening, mind you) And don't feel you must be super quiet when he sleeps, or this may condition him to wake up at the slightest sounds for the rest of his life. Soon he should be used to noises and be able to sleep through the normal sounds of daily life. Good luck!

I have a 3 week old boy. He passed the hearing test fine. He is not real sensitive to loud noises though. Or at least he doesn't startle easy. In the hospital a nurse knocked over a tray of food in the room which made quite bang. He was asleep and he didn't even jump.

well, some people just have more sensitive hearing than others. i'm one of them and it can be a pain in the *** coping with the noise levels (or even enjoyable things like music) that most people regard as just about normal and that drive me round the bend because i hear all sorts of overtones and distortions that they presumably don't. it would be interesting to know how old your baby is, but if he/ she is very new he/ she is probably just still getting used to the noise levels of the outside world. after all, in your belly all sounds were muffled. for the moment, i wouldn't worry about it, after all the nurse didn't seem to either. if this sensitivity lasts beyond six months or so i'd get concerned because it can be a symptom of rather serious underlying conditions, so i'd definitely ask a doctor about it then. why don't you just ask when you take your little one for the next check-up? :-)

Your baby may be a Highly Sensitive Person. It's a gene. I'm not sure if it's a genentic thing or not but he'll be ok in life. I wouldnt' worry aobut it. Just keep the noise level in your huse low and teach him to cope.

Although I agree, there is probably no need to worry, I would not just forget about it. There are some conditions that cause auditory sensitivities. If it does not seem to ease I would request more be looked into. It is normal for new babies to scare easily because the world and its sounds are so new to them. But again it usually eases up as they get a few months older.

My baby is also very sensitive to noise. She doesn't like loud noises and she is a little terror to get to sleep when there are noises and sounds. I find her growing out of it now (shes 5 months). Before she couldn't even handle a dolly that cried, now she wants it on again and again. Don't concern yourself about it, rather be thankful that he has such good hearing!

i'm unsure while you're attentive to this, yet there substitute right into a learn that measured how a homosexual individual, relatively a homosexual lady, reacts to a noisy noise. homosexual women human beings would react with a shrink back and a watch blink, while a as we communicate lady would react in basic terms with a shrink back, no eye blink. i be attentive to that sounds loopy, yet i myself did examine someplace on line some learn being completed approximately this. Now how precise is it? Who is familiar with. I surely do no longer think of a lot of it has to do with sexual orientation; i think of it relatively is all extra individual to individual. As for me, I do would desire to accept as true with you. i'm very tender to loud noises. i've got been familiar to scream or bounce on the slightest unexpected noise. My acquaintances and kinfolk get a kick out of "scaring" me, whether it extremely does startle me.

As long as there is no reduction in hearing I wouldnt worry at this point. Monitor it and report any abnormal activity to the doc.
