A woman who had a healthy pregnancy and smooth labor was shocked to discover that something was wrong after giving birth to her baby boy, Brooks. Brooks failed the initial hearing screening the first time shortly after birth. It was then re-done, and he failed two more times. He was invited back for a fourth time, and again, he failed. His mom, Morgan Deakin, 23, initially thought it was due to mucus being in his ears – a common issue for newborns.
