You baby will possibly need further hearing tests if the first hearing screening tests did not show a clear response in one or both ears. These tests will be done at the Audiology Clinic (Hearing Clinic) at Cork University Hospital. The leaflet create a "Your Baby’s Visit to the Audiology Clinic (Hearing Clinic)" explains what happens at the Audiology Clinic.
