Child Diagnostic Hearing assessment

1

Healthy hearing is incredibly important for children for developing age-appropriate language milestones and communication skills

2

Signs of hearing loss in children tend to look like the following:

  • Need the television or phone/tablet device to be turned up louder
  • Not responsive or inattentive to sound
  • Find it difficult to detect where sound is coming from
  • Delayed speech and language development for their age

3

If the above is observed, it may a be a good idea to get your child’s hearing checked

4

Child hearing assessments involve a thorough case history on relevant information which may contribute to your child’s hearing loss

5

A combination of hearing tests which test the outer, middle, and inner ear are then performed to determine the type, degree, and configuration of your child’s hearing

6

For children aged above 3 years, special adjustments are made to the hearing test to make it more engaging for the child (i.e., when a sound is heard a play response such as putting a toy into a box is completed instead of pressing a button)

7

Necessary referrals are then made to relevant healthcare/medical professionals depending on the results obtained

8

An audiological report is then made which we can send to your child’s GP or your email directly (physical copies can also be provided)
