Hearing: The first two important years
The first two year is the time during which hearing develops in children. It is
important for parents to be able to recognize signs of a hearing problem as
early as possible and seek medical attention if there are any concerns.
Here is a guide of signs of normal hearing development by age through the first
2 years of life:

At 12 months a baby should:
Turn his/her head in all directions and show an interest in a person's voice or
a particular sound

At 2 years of age a child should:
Be able to point out a part of his body when asked without seeing that person's
lips move
Be able to point to the right picture when asked(for example: Where is the cat?

Be able to do simple tasks like give you one of his/her toys when asked,
without seeing that person's lips move.
If your child never does these things at the appropriate age as listed above or
