Assessment & Services Offered

We provide comprehensive hearing and speech evaluation for infants and children:

• Newborn & Pediatric Hearing Screening: OAE, AABR and age-appropriate tests to identify early hearing issues.

• Pediatric Audiometry: Pure tone, behaviour-based or play audiometry to assess hearing levels in children.

• Tympanometry: Evaluation for middle-ear fluid or Eustachian tube dysfunction, common causes of hearing loss in children.

• Speech & Language Delay Assessment: Detailed evaluation of expressive and receptive language skills by trained specialists.

• Developmental Screening: Identifying autism, behavioural concerns or global developmental delays linked to poor speech.

• Speech Therapy Referral: Early intervention for children with delayed speech, unclear words or stammering.

When to Seek Evaluation

Parents should seek hearing and speech assessment if their child:

• Does not respond to sounds, name or calling consistently

• Has unclear speech or limited vocabulary compared to peers

• Shows delay in speaking first words or forming sentences

• Frequently asks “what?” or increases TV volume excessively

Causes may include fluid in the middle ear, chronic ear infections, congenital hearing loss, neurological conditions, autism spectrum disorders or environmental factors. Early diagnosis ensures better outcomes for communication, learning and social interaction.

Management & Long-term Care

Long-term improvement depends on early detection and continuous support:

• Regular hearing monitoring for children with recurrent ear infections

• Early initiation of speech therapy to boost communication skills

• Hearing aids or grommet insertion when medically indicated

• Parental guidance on communication techniques and home-based stimulation

• Routine follow-ups to track speech and hearing progress
