Paediatric (Children's) Hearing Tests

A child's hearing can be tested from the time of birth.  Here at MPA a child can be tested for their hearing from the time they can hold their head unsupported, this is generally from six months.  From six months to three years, hearing can be tested with puppets (also called Visual Reinforcement Audiology).  Older children are tested with Play audiometry. This process needs a dedicated experienced audiologist with an excellent rapport with children and a specialised booth made for this purpose. With our brand new VRA booth and the highly experienced team, we can assess all aspects of your child's hearing accurately. More about children's hearing tests.
