Children's Hearing

Hearlix provides hearing assessment for children from primarily 3 years of age. There are several reasons why a child needs their hearing tested:

• Family history of hearing loss
• Reoccurring ear infections
• Concerns regarding your child’s speech and language development
• Concerns at school and/or home regarding your child’s listening behaviour
• Simply reassurance as hearing loss is hidden
• Change in behaviour
• To help decipher between attention or not hearing

Children, even with normal hearing, should be evaluated regularly. It is strongly recommended you organise a hearing test:

• Before kindergarten
• Before year 1

At each appointment, Dr Annemarie will perform a detailed assessment of your child hearing including video otoscopy, middle ear assessment and pure tone audiometry. All appointments include a full audiological report to your GP and/or other specialists as needed. As a mum of two young boys, Dr Annemarie loves working with kids and knows how important it is to get accurate, reliable results while keeping your child engaged.
