Children's hearing

Paediatric audiology

Specialist hearing assessments for newborns, toddlers, and children — delivered with expertise, patience, and a genuine love of working with young patients.

A reassuring note for parents

Worrying about your child’s hearing is completely understandable, and coming for an assessment is the right thing to do. Our clinic is a calm, welcoming, child-friendly space. All assessments are non-invasive, pain-free, and adapted to your child’s age. We’ll take the time to explain every step clearly and answer all your questions.

Assessment by age

The right test for every child

Newborns & infants

Birth – 6 months

Objective testing including automated ABR and OAEs. No active cooperation needed — babies are tested while asleep or drowsy.

Toddlers & pre-schoolers

6 months – 4 years

Visual reinforcement audiometry uses engaging animated rewards to teach young children to respond to sounds — reliable, and paced to them.

Children & school-age

4 years and over

Play audiometry and standard pure-tone testing, adapted to each child's developmental level. Clear, engaging, and always child-paced.

Specialist services

Glue ear & beyond

Glue ear (otitis media with effusion) is the most common cause of hearing loss in children. Our audiologist has extensive experience in its diagnosis, monitoring, and management — working closely with ENT specialists where referral is needed.

We also provide hearing assessments for children with developmental delays, autism spectrum conditions, and other complex needs, adapting our methods flexibly to achieve accurate results.
