Pediatric Audiology

Gentle, play-based hearing evaluations designed for your child’s comfort and success.

Is your child’s speech developing more slowly than expected? Do they turn up the TV volume or ask ‘what?’ frequently? Our pediatric hearing evaluations use play-based testing methods that feel like games, not medical procedures. We make the experience comfortable for infants, toddlers, and older children alike. Early detection makes all the difference—catching hearing issues early supports language development, learning, and social confidence as your child grows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age can you test?

We can evaluate hearing in infants as young as a few months old through the teenage years. We adapt our testing methods based on your child’s age and developmental stage.

How do you test babies who can’t respond?

For very young infants, we use specialized tests that measure ear and brain responses to sound while your baby rests quietly. These don’t require any response from your child.

Should I prepare my child for the appointment?

Schedule the appointment when your child is typically well-rested and alert. You can tell older children they’ll play listening games, but there’s no need to practice or prepare.

How should I prepare for the visit?

Schedule when your child is typically well-rested. We’ll take as much time as needed to complete testing — there’s no rush, and we work at your child’s pace.
