Hearing Testing for Children - Aged 3 and Up
A hearing test for children aged 3 and up, that includes looking in their ears, measuring the pressure in the ears, as well as testing them in a sound booth to see how well they respond to soft sounds and hear words. This type of appointment is for those who need a comprehensive understanding of their child's hearing status, who require a referral to a specialist, or who need a more in-depth dive into what is going on with their ears and/or hearing.

30-min Check & Soft Sound Test
$50
Ear Health Check - Aged 6 Months and Up
The Audiologist will look in your child's ears to check the general health of the ear canals and eardrums, check pressure in the ears to help determine if there may be any infection or the feeling of having plugged ears, as well as a soft sound measurement to check how things may be working in the inner ear. This service does not include a hearing test or any medication prescriptions. A brief report of findings can be included, as needed. This appointment can be helpful if a professional opinion is needed on the status and health of the ears, whether or not infection is present, or when trying to determine next steps.
