Our hearing impaired services.

Infants hear and listen from the moment of birth. Because children learn to speak by listening to and imitating the sounds they hear, good hearing is essential for your baby to learn to talk. Evaluations and hearing tests for children can be performed at any age. There are many sophisticated tests that can determine the level of your child's hearing. If you are concerned about your child's hearing, please contact our office to set up a hearing evaluation.
