Hearing Tests for Infants Every infant needs to be tested for hearing loss. A nurse midwife, midwife, or administrative officer is responsible for arranging for the hearing test. Parents can choose to not have the tests done. The commissioner of health is responsible for deciding what tests should be done and when the tests should be given to ensure the health of infants in Minnesota. For children born outside of hospitals, one of the health providers at the birth will inform the family orally and in writing as to where the child's hearing can be screened.
