How often should I have my baby's ears checked?

 

Frequent ear infections can also affect a baby's hearing, so I definitely recommend having ears checked regularly for fluid and infection.  My baby recently had tubes placed because he *always( had fluid in his ears and suddenly he's coming up with sounds that he definitely didn't hear/say before.  My pediatrian told me that fluid in the ears makes it hard for them to distinguish between certain sounds b/c everything's muffled (baba/dada)

 

How loud is too loud for a baby's ears?
