Recognising the Signs of Hearing Challenges in Your Child 

Various factors could contribute to hearing challenges in children, including chronic ear infections, congenital conditions, or exposure to loud noises. 

Hearing issues can manifest in subtle ways in children; you may notice your child not responding to their name, frequently asking for repetition, or exhibiting delayed speech development.  

Social withdrawal and an apparent lack of attention at school are also potential indicators of hearing difficulties. If any of these signs resonate with your experience, it might be time to consider a professional hearing assessment. 

You can rest assured that our team of experts specialise in identifying these issues early with our thorough paediatric hearing screenings. Hearing assessments are essential in catching hearing problems early, allowing for timely intervention and support, no matter your child’s age. 

Our team of expert audiologists are adept at diagnosing the root causes of hearing difficulties using state-of-the-art equipment and evidence-based practices.
