Hi My name is Diana and i recently had anewborn daughter Shelby. At first me and my husband thought she was the perfect child. No loud noises would startle or scare her. This went on for about several months.. until we knew something was up. http://www.edukey.net/2007/02/09/when-baby-cannot-hear/
i read this article and we got our daughter tested and she was in fact hearing impaired. This gives some helpful tips on how to raise a deaf child and things. Good luck hope you enjoy this article

Learn sign language right away. Speak to her sign while she also sees your lips. Speak both your lips and your hands. Otherwise treat her normal and have a great time learning the world of silence. There is much beauty in her special life.
