What is Pediatric Audiology?
Pediatric audiology is the branch of audiology specializing in children’s hearing. It is different from diagnosing and treating adult hearing issues because children may not be able to answer diagnostic questions the way adults can, due to lack of language skills or vocabulary, or lack of understanding of how hearing is supposed to be.
Due to these limitations, different tests are used to diagnose children’s hearing loss (see below).
Children are also growing and changing rapidly, providing additional challenges for treatment, which often needs to change and adapt as the child grows.

Allow Us The Privilege of Caring For Your Child’s Hearing
We provide a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and addressing pediatric hearing concerns. Our friendly team is dedicated to creating a comfortable and supportive environment for children and their families.
Audiological Monitoring
Pediatric audiological monitoring allows the pediatric audiologist to monitor children’s hearing abilities, as well as hearing aid details and performance, over time. Caregiver-report questionnaires may be used along with other measures, such as aided speech perception.
Tympanometry
While tympanometry is not a hearing test, per se, it is a measure of energy transmission through the middle ear which can help in the diagnosis of hearing loss.

Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)
When functioning normally, the cochlea (in the inner ear) produces low-intensity sounds called otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). But when a child has a sensorineural hearing loss of 30dBHL* or greater, these OAEs are absent.

Diagnostic Testing for Children’s Hearing
The diagnostic hearing evaluation for children is performed by a pediatric audiologist who performs a series of tests to determine if the child has a hearing loss, and if so, to discover:
The type of hearing loss (which part of the auditory system is affected).
The degree of hearing loss (how much hearing loss exists).
The configuration of hearing loss (which frequencies or pitches are affected).
We use state-of-the-art technology to diagnose children’s hearing loss. Our tests are conducted in a fun, game-like way, to keep children engaged and at ease while we collect the data required for an accurate diagnosis.
