Audiology Referrals
No child is too young to have their hearing tested. Our testing is customized for each child depending on a number of factors, including age and developmental level. Our staff includes some of the finest pediatric audiologists with experience testing children from birth to age 18.
Our children’s hearing evaluation uses varying tones to measure the degree of hearing loss. Our patients are evaluated in a sound-treated test booth by being presented speech and sounds through earphones or speakers. The type of test is determined by the child’s age and apparent ability. For young children, we use visual reinforcement audiometry, which rewards head-turning responses with a lighted toy. We also utilize play audiometry, which conditions the child to respond to sounds with a play-task such as placing a block in a bucket after hearing tones.
