Between 4 and 7 months, you should see a noticeable increase in your baby's awareness of the sights and sounds around him or her. Your baby should be responding appropriately to more and more visual and audio stimuli.
Since hearing is such a crucial component of language development, you'll also want to discuss with your child's doctor any concerns you have about your baby's hearing. If your baby doesn't seem to imitate simple sounds by the end of his or her seventh month, or shows no interest in babbling or having a "conversation" with you, you may want to talk with your baby's doctor about getting a hearing evaluation.
Here are some warning signs of hearing problems to look for:
no response to sound (for example, doesn't turn in direction of loud noise)
response to only some sounds, not all (some children can hear certain pitches, some hear in only one ear)
does not laugh out loud by 6 months
does not babble or make a variety of sounds by 8 months, or concentrates only on making vibrating sounds he or she can feel in the throat rather than imitating sounds he or she can hear
Caught early, many hearing problems can be treated successfully, so be sure to report any concerns you have to your child's doctor immediately.

Ours did no longer talk plenty in any respect (previous the i'm hungry scream) until he replaced into 7 or 8 months, or perhaps then he replaced into greater of a listener. He might each as quickly as in a protracted jointly as bypass right into a cooing temper - we've pictures of him cooing at approximately 3 or 4 months and we've been so excited approximately it - the youngster replaced into making a noise different than crying noises! He by no skill quite did babble until he replaced into over a twelve months and gaining expertise of to talk in earnest.

It's a perfectly normal stage in development. His senses are expanding and he's aware of a lot more. My 4 mo old startles everytime I sneeze. He'll adapt to the new noises he's hearing and won't startle so easy in a few months. Everything is new to him and he's learning so much right now. It won't hurt him to hear loud noises from a distance. Keep louder toys away from his tiny ears. They can cause hearing problems.

At 4 months old his senses are becoming more fine tuned but at the same time he doesn't have the experience to know what everything he hears is. It is totally normal, so don't be worried. He's fine.

he will be fine, when he is sleeping dont let the house or room be totally quiet. Do hoovering or put music or tv on because being totally quiet will make it worse and he will never settle, this will get him used to noise in the house and outside.
Good luck
