Your infant's sense of hearing underwent most of its development in the womb.
Baby's inner ear fully develops by the 20th week of pregnancy, and the ability to hear is fully developed at birth. While in the womb, your baby could hear your heartbeat, your stomach grumbling and the blood moving through the umbilical cord. Your baby may have even been startled by loud noises.
Although your newborn baby can sleep through a lot of noises, he is likely to be startled by loud sounds beginning before 3 months of age. His response to noises may depend on his temperament. If he is calm and relaxed, loud noises may not bother him as much as they would if he were fussy. By the time he is 4 to 6 months old, he will be able to turn his head when he hears your voice and may look for the source of a sound.
At 6 months of age, your baby may be able to imitate inflections that she hears in your voice. As she approaches 10 months of age, she will respond to her name or other familiar sounds or words, such as the telephone. Around 1 year of age, she will be able to point to familiar objects in a book when asked.
