How much does newborn hearing screening cost?

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 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 uncooperative, repeated examinations may be necessary, which will correspondingly increase the medical costs and may result in additional charges. For children diagnosed with hearing loss, appropriate treatment and management should be provided based on further examinations. For newborns with high-risk factors for hearing loss, even if they pass the hearing screening, they should be followed up at least once every six months within three years.
