Newborn hearing test questions

[neenee]

Ben failed his newborn hearing test FIVE times! Granted the first four times he was fussy so they attributed it to that. However, the last test (yesterday) he was totally calm and still failed. So, he is now scheduled to see a specialist on Monday.

I don't believe my kids had this done. My DD is so upset and worried now. I don't know what to say to calm her because I don't have any experience or knowledge about the accuracy of the test and how often infants fail them when there really is nothing to worry about.

Anyone have any knowledge about how accurate these newborn hearing tests are?
