Question
A set of identical twins had their newborn hearing screening on the third day after birth. The male baby’s hearing did not pass the test, while the female baby passed. The doctor recommended a retest at 42 days. The parents want to know if they can buy a newborn hearing screener themselves to conduct the test at home?
Answer
The newborn hearing screener is a professional medical device, suitable for otolaryngology, maternal and child health care institutions, pediatric care departments, and various rehabilitation institutions. It is used for newborn hearing screening, infant conditioned orientation reflex testing, hearing tests for children and adults, fitting and adjustment of hearing aids, morning check of hearing aids, and hearing rehabilitation assessment. This is one of the professional devices in hospitals. It is recommended that parents take their baby to a regular hospital for the examination and not to purchase one themselves.
