Play a “pretend” hearing test with headphones to help your child get used to the idea.
Stay positive:
Maintain a positive attitude and reassure your child that the test is safe and painless. Your calm demeanor can make a big difference.
Bring comfort items:
Let your child bring a favorite toy or blanket to the appointment for comfort.
Why early hearing assessments
are crucial
Your child’s hearing is very important for talking, learning, and making friends. Even mild hearing issues can slow how they learn new words. These problems can also make it harder for your child to do well in school and feel confident around others. Remember, children are still learning to hear, and their hearing systems don’t fully mature until about age 12. Hearing well helps this development happen naturally.
Temporary hearing problems often happen after colds or stuffy noses. These can cause fluid to build up behind the eardrum or create pressure in the ear, making it harder for your child to hear clearly.
Hearing assessments help identify these problems early. They also allow us to track any ongoing difficulties. Sometimes, if problems last, your child may need to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for more care. Early testing and treatment help prevent hearing issues from affecting your child’s growth and learning.
Addressing hearing challenges early prevents delays in academic performance.
Feel confident knowing your child’s hearing is on the right track, giving them every opportunity to thrive.
We get it – waiting isn’t an option when it comes to your child’s future.

Our FAQ
What age should my child have their first hearing test?
We recommend a pediatric hearing assessment at age 4 (prior to entering school), or earlier if you suspect a hearing issue. Early testing is crucial because hearing health impacts language development, academic success, and social confidence. Don’t let your child’s potential be delayed—early hearing intervention can make all the difference.
Is the pediatric hearing assessment covered by insurance?
While we do not work directly with insurance providers, many parents have successfully claimed reimbursement for our services. We are registered Audiologists, regulated healthcare professionals in hearing, and we will provide all the necessary documentation to assist with your claim, including detailed invoices and supporting information. To confirm coverage, we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly for specific details about your plan.
How do I know if my child needs a hearing test?
Signs your child may benefit from a hearing test include:
- Difficulty following conversations or instructions.
- Delayed speech or language development.
- Frequently asking for repetition or saying “What?”
Why does my child have fluid behind their eardrum?
- Eustachian tube dysfunction: The tube that connects the middle ear to the back of the throat might not be working right, leading to fluid build up.
- Allergies or colds: These can make the Eustachian tube congested and blocked, stopping fluid from draining from the middle ear.
- Anatomy: Children’s Eustachian tubes are shorter and more horizontal, making it harder for fluid to drain naturally.
- Ear infections: Fluid can be present after an ear infection has cleared up.
