Why do pediatricians suggest that babies have a formal hearing test by 6 months of age?

•because hearing is essential for language development
•because it's impossible for parents to know if a baby has a hearing impairment
•because babies that are too lazy to turn toward sounds can be misdiagnosed as hearing Impaired
•because babies start speaking at 6 months

Answer:B.

Step-by-step explanation:

From healthychildren.org

"The hearing screening is a first and important step in helping understand if your baby may be deaf or hard of hearing. Without newborn hearing screening, it is hard to know when there are hearing changes in the first months and years of your baby's life. "
