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.
