Newborn hearing screening — Infants typically receive a hearing screening prior to leaving the hospital. We often see infants who do not pass this hearing screening for follow-up diagnostic testing. Additional testing helps to determine if there is permanent hearing impairment.
Identifying hearing loss in toddlers and children — Hearing evaluations can be done on children of all ages. Testing can include otoacoustic emissions (OAE), visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA), conditioned play audiometry (CPA), and traditional audiometry.
