@angel can your son hear? Partial deafness?

Definitely contact a specialist and a new doctor. My oldest son had hearing issues and would behave the same. His doctor shrugged it off until he was 2 and by then so much damage had been done to his ear drums he went through 8 surgeries to try to save his hearing. He's 10 now and just underwent yet another surgery trying to repair one of his ear drums.

Thank you ladies. I'll be requesting a hearing test and maybe even a new pedi.

I don't think it's normal.

She could be responding to the vibrations of the music.

I would get a second opinion

I don't think is normal. Definitely get a second opinion. Hope they can find what's wrong soon.

I agree with finding a second opinion. I don't think at that age she'd be just ignoring you, so I'd be concerned.

Id look for a pediatric ENT for this.

Get a 2nd opinion because at every appointment so far, ds's pediatrician has asked if he responds to loud noises or if he turns in our direction if we speak to him. He's 7 months and if I say his name he always looks unless he's really into playing with a toy and he always jumps from loud noises.

SO keeps telling me she's fine and that she may just not want to respond or listen. Is that possible, that she's simply just ignoring us?

Definitely get a second opinion then. A doctor should just dismiss a concern like that

I believe my dd is a few months younger than yours, and she has been responding to her name and sounds for a couple months. Some milestones are okay to be a bit late on, but your instincts are best here. I would get her hearing checked and continue to look out for signs that she could be on the spectrum. I hope you get some answers soon! Keep pestering her pediatrician.

Yes she had her 1yr check up last week. This was the second appointment that I've brought up my concerns and this is the second time the dr has brushed it off. I'm in search of a new pedi but am having trouble finding a good one.

There are other things I've had concerns about. I've made a past post about it in the last few weeks. And I'm starting to feel very nervous and panicky because no one is taking me seriously as a ftm.

If she's 1 I would be a little concerned. Has she had her 1 year checkup yet?

Idk these are red flags to me. I would get her hearing checked. Maybe even a full evaluation done. Does she talk or babble a lot? If she doesn't, it definitely means something wrong. She might not be able to hear well therefore can't learn new sounds.

Definitely not an expert though. I'm just basis for this off of my own experiences when my son was 1. She may also hear you but won't care to respond cause she's playing.
