Paediatric audiology plays a crucial role in assessing and identifying hearing issues in children aged 5 and older. At Soundscape Audiology, we specialise in providing comprehensive, age-appropriate hearing assessments for children to ensure early detection and intervention of any auditory concerns.

Our experienced audiologists use child-friendly methods and advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate a child’s hearing ability. For children over five, testing typically involves a combination of play audiometry, which requires the child to respond to sounds at various frequencies, and more advanced tests such as speech audiometry, which evaluates how well they understand speech at different volume levels.

The goal of paediatric audiology is to identify hearing loss or disorders early, as untreated hearing issues can impact a child’s speech, language development, social skills, and academic performance. If a hearing concern is detected, we work closely with parents and caregivers to develop a tailored plan.

We strive to create a comfortable and supportive environment during assessments, helping children feel at ease so they can actively participate in the testing process. At Soundscape Audiology, we are dedicated to ensuring that every child receives the best possible care for healthy hearing and successful communication.
