please get his Hearing tested by a qualified audiologist first as hearing impairment can cause speech delay

He follows all the orders he is told eg if i ask him to bring anything he understands and follows it
Do i still need to get his hearing tested?

V dont expect full speech at this age. If he is using few words like mama pani, baba aja ect than its ok. Just wait n watch. If u want to get him checked than i will suggest a hearing test and check his mouth for tongue tie. Give him attention,
talk to him and check his response to explore social cause of delayed speech.
