Your baby's singing and hearing ability before it's born
First, singing and other sounds are felt by the vibrations of the amniotic fluid. Studies have shown that your baby begins to respond to sounds between 18 and 20 weeks of age. At that time, although the auditory nerves were still perfecting, the ear structure of the fetus was formed.
From 27 weeks, the fetus can hear sounds including low tones but cannot respond to high pitched sounds. Your baby's hearing will continue to develop and improve as he gets older.
In addition, your child may be able to listen and memorize words, songs or noises at 23 weeks of age. Therefore, pregnant mothers should be careful that their children are exposed to any sounds so as not to adversely affect the baby in the future.
