According to research, a developing infant begins to respond to sound at 13-16 weeks in the utero. At this stage, the structures involved in hearing have developed, and the baby can hear muffled sounds from the external environment through the mother's abdominal wall. By the third trimester, the baby can hear more clearly and respond to sound by moving and changing heart rate.
