Hearing Screening

Did you know that hearing loss can be screened for in children too young to talk?  Using a device called an Otoacustic Emissions Screener or OAE screener we can do just that.  Hearing loss can come on at any time in childhood.  If detected early, we can protect the remaining hearing and start with adaptive devices like aids if necessary.  With those simple steps we can maintain improved childhood development.

If your child has not had her hearing checked in the last year, ask that it be done at the next well visit.
