A mother notices that her newborn is able to sleep without waking even when in the nursery with other newborns crying. The mother asks whether her baby might have a hearing problem, because her father wears hearing aids.
 
  The nurse should explain that: 1. Newborn risk factors associated with potential hearing loss do not include a family history of hearing loss.
  2. Newborns cannot hear, due to mucus accumulated in the middle ear, which takes several days to drain.
  3. Newborns who are asleep do not respond to loud noises that are not accompanied by vibrations.
  4. Newborns in a noisy nursery are able to habituate to the sounds, and might not react unless a sound is sudden or much louder.
