A child's world is built on sound—the sound of a parent's voice, the music of play, and the building blocks of language. At Echo Audiology Centre, we specialize in gentle, non-invasive hearing evaluations for infants and children, ensuring that no developmental milestone is missed.
Performed while the baby sleeps. We use Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) to check the inner ear's response to sound. Fast, painless, and vital.
For toddlers and preschoolers, we turn hearing tests into a game. Children perform a task (like dropping a block) when they hear a sound.
For toddlers and preschoolers, we turn hearing tests into a game. Children perform a task (like dropping a block) when they hear a sound.
For infants aged 6 months to 2 years. We use animated toys and lights to reinforce their natural head-turn response to sound.
Comprehensive diagnostic PTA for school-aged children to ensure hearing isn't a barrier to classroom learning and social success.
The first three years of life are the most intensive period for acquiring speech and language skills. If a child has even a mild hearing loss, they may struggle to distinguish the subtle sounds of language (like "s" vs "sh" or "t" vs "k").
At our Milton Park clinic, we look beyond the ears. We evaluate how your child is processing sound to prevent:
| Age Range | Typical Response |
|---|---|
| 0-4 Months | Startles to loud noises; calms at a familiar voice. |
| 4-9 Months | Turns eyes/head toward sound; begins babbling. |
| 9-15 Months | Responds to their name; mimics simple sounds. |
| 15-24 Months | Follows simple commands; has a small vocabulary of words. |
We know that a clinical setting can be scary for a little one. Our Milton Park facility is designed to be welcoming and "fear-free." We take our time with pediatric appointments, allowing for breaks and play to ensure we get the most accurate results in a stress-free environment.
"Because every child deserves to hear the sound of their parent's 'I love you' clearly."
