Cost of hearing screening

The costs involved in the hearing screening are very small. In fact, the costs to soc
individuals of not screening may be much higher.

According to Lynn Spivak, Ph.D., as cited in the November 2000 issue of The Heari
the price of screening an infant ranges from $17 to $33. The most expensive part o
screening is personnel costs. While expenses for equipment and materials are alm
in all hospitals. However, personnel costs often differ depending on the quali cati
hospital staff and on the local wage level.

To get a true picture of the costs involved in hearing screening it is important to in

costs of re-screening. The total cost per infant then rises to approx. $30, Lynn Spiv
Therefore, the more effective the rst hearing screening is, the fewer the number o
requiring re-screening. And thus the overall expenses are reduced.

HOw do Counselling help?

Audio therapist Kari Antonsen described an experiment at Ullevål Hospital in Nor
report “Rehabilitation of adult hearing aid users”. 54 hearing aid users and 11 rela
given insights into the use of hearing aids in classes with 6-8 people lasting ve ni
classes dealt with every hearing aid aspect, from the anatomy of the ear to the pos
And limitations of the use of hearing aids in daily life.

As a result, the class participants became far better equipped to make good use of
hearing aids. In comparison with the other members of a control group who did no
similar training.

Antonsen also investigated the long-term effects. Three years later, the class parti
enjoyed great bene ts from their hearing aids. They were active and social and les
angry about their hearing impairment.

According to Kari Antonsen, the study proved that information, service, and couns
extremely important in maximizing the bene ts of using hearing aids.
