Question
What is the cost of newborn hearing screening?
Answer
The cost of newborn hearing screening can vary depending on the region and the hospital’s fee schedule. If the baby does not cooperate during the examination, a repeat screening may be required, which can increase medical costs and may involve additional charges. For infants diagnosed with hearing loss, appropriate treatment and management should be carried out based on further examinations. For newborns at high risk of hearing loss, even if they pass the hearing screening, they should undergo at least one follow-up examination every six months within the first three years.
