Hearing well is important in a child's development of speech and communication.  If you feel your child has a hearing problem, consult your doctor or have him/her tested by an Audiologist. 

At HEARLINK we perform hearing tests on children of all ages, from newborn and up.

 

Hearing problems in children can be caused by a number of factors, they include:
 

·         Otitis media (middle ear infection)  [click here for more information]

·         Genetic disorders

·         Certain disease

·         Exposure to loud noise

 

Testing methods used on children are different to those used on adults.  The types of tests performed depend on the child's age and his/her ability to perform certain tasks.

 

Tests performed on children at HEARLINK include:
 

·         Behavioural Observation  Audiometry (BOA)

·         Visual/ Reinforcmewnt Audiometry (VRA)

·         Play Audiometry

·         Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE's)

·         Central Auditory Processing Disorder Tests [click here for more information]
