We also had extra fees because we opted to have hearing test, vit K injection, etc.. for my daughter.

Hi catan. I'm seriously thinking of having my baby's hearing tested too. What exactly does the test involve? Who performs the test? And how much is the test?

The nurses perform the hearing test, takes a few minutes with an equipment they stick to the baby, easy and painfree. Let me check my bill for the cost.

Thanks for the info, Obiwan. I look forward to receiving more info regarding the cost.

Hiya, not sure why the bill for my boy didn't have the breakdown for the hearing test, but I looked back to my daughter's bill in 2009, Matilda charged hkd450 then. Hope that helps.

The hearing test isn't included? At public I think it's mandatory and included. What do you mean there's a 2 hour wait to get into public. If you're dilated at 3cm...you go straight to your delivery suite with your hubby.

My baby was born a few months ago and the hearing test was $800...

My bill for newborn fees at Matilda was $7600. Ped charged $6800 and the rest was ward procedures. My baby had the BCG and Hep B vaccines, vit K, and hearing test.
