Patient's question:
When I gave birth to my baby, my partner was on a business trip and hadn't returned yet. All the check-ups were accompanied by my in-laws. When I was discharged from the hospital, the doctor reminded me to come back for a hearing check-up for the baby. How much does a newborn hearing screening cost?Doctor's answer:
According to the charging standards of different places and hospitals, there may be some fluctuations. If the child is not cooperative, repeated examinations may be necessary, which will correspondingly increase the medical costs. Additional fees may be charged. For children diagnosed with hearing loss, appropriate treatment and management should be provided based on further examinations. Newborns with high-risk factors for hearing loss should be followed up at least once every six months within three years, even if they pass the hearing screening.
