My husband & I are excited to talk, read, play music to my tummy. Does anyone know approximately when he/she can start to hear?

Hi CJ
Reactive listening has been demonstrated through research at 14 weeks gestational age, approximately 8 weeks before the ear is structurally complete. Researchers in Belfast demonstrated this by beaming a pure pulse sound into the womb at various gestational ages; a visible reaction was first demonstrated by the fetuses and observed by ultrasound at 14 weeks. Other studies have demonstrated that a five-second auditory stimulus can cause a change in heart rate that lasts up to an hour
