Question
How much does a newborn hearing screening cost? Will there be additional costs if the child does not cooperate with the examination?
Answer
The cost of newborn hearing screening may vary by region and hospital, with slight fluctuations possible. If the child cannot cooperate with the examination, it may require multiple screenings, which could lead to increased medical costs and possibly additional fees. For infants diagnosed with hearing loss, appropriate treatment and management should be based on further examination results. For newborns at high risk of hearing loss, even if they pass the hearing screening, they should have at least one follow-up every six months within the first three years.
