Valerie While I don't think that every baby's hearing NEEDS to be tested unless they were premature or on certain medications, I also have to say that the procedure used is done without gloves, is not invasive, is not painful, and must be done while the baby is sound asleep. The baby doesn't even know there is anything happening out there. What in the world does your comment have to do with breastfeeding? Deanne Francis, R.N.
