At AudioSense, we specialize in pediatric audiology, offering hearing care tailored to infants, toddlers, and children of all ages. Our goal is to ensure that every child has access to clear sound and the opportunity to develop in language, learning, and social development.
We see babies as young as newborns for newborn hearing screenings. These quick and completely painless tests allow us to check your baby's hearing within the first days or weeks of life. Using gentle sounds and sensitive sensors, we can detect even very small changes in hearing. Early detection is important. When hearing loss is identified early, it can be treated or managed before it impacts speech and brain development.
For infants and young children who cannot respond verbally to sounds, we use objective hearing tests such as Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) and Tympanometry.
For babies and toddlers aged approximately 6 months to 2 years, we perform Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA). In this test, your child sits on your lap in a soundproof booth while we play tones or speech from speakers. When your child responds to a sound, a friendly light-up toy or animated video "rewards" them. This teaches us which sounds they can detect in a way that's fun and non-stressful.
For preschoolers and school-aged children, we use Conditioned Play Audiometry (CPA). This test turns hearing into a game. For example, your child might drop a block into a bucket or put a toy on the table every time they hear a sound. This approach keeps children engaged while allowing us to measure hearing accurately across different pitches and volumes.
Older children, typically from age 6 onward, can participate in Standard Audiometry, where they raise their hand or press a button each time they hear a tone. These results allow us to create a detailed hearing profile that guides any necessary treatment, monitoring, or school accommodations.
No matter your child's age, our audiologists use advanced equipment and a calm, reassuring approach to make the testing experience enjoyable, accurate, and stress-free.
