Our pediatric specialists are specially trained to work with children who have complex medical conditions and those who may have a hard time being tested. The most appropriate test is individualized for each child based on their developmental and/or chronological age and other relevant factors. This helps make an appointment successful and may reduce the need for unnecessary follow-up appointments.

Working with the child and family, our audiologists collaborate with other pediatric specialists in fields such as otolaryngology (ENT), speech-language pathology, craniofacial, genetics, neurology, and developmental/behavioral pediatrics to develop an individualized care plan to offer the most effective treatment options.

Using leading technology, our team ensures your child is optimally fit to maximize audibility. In addition to medical professionals, our pediatric audiologists remain in frequent contact with your child’s birth-to-three team, educational audiologists and their school system.
