Newborn Hearing Screening

A newborn hearing screening is highly recommended as early detection of hearing deficits is important. If a deficit is detected, assistance can be obtained proactively in order to minimize and prevent developmental delays. This is a non-invasive test and takes approximately five minutes. This screening is suggested by the Washington State Department of Health.

This screening is part of your postpartum follow-up appointment. The procedure is billable to your insurance company.
