Paediatrics Hearing Testing

At HHB Speech and Hearing Clinic, paediatric hearing testing is carefully designed to detect hearing loss in children of all ages—from newborns to adolescents. Early identification is crucial for a child’s speech, language, cognitive, and social development. Our clinic provides a comprehensive range of age-appropriate, child-friendly hearing assessments using the latest technology and conducted by experienced audiologists in a calm, comforting environment.

For newborns and infants, we use objective tests such as Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) and Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA). These are safe, painless, and require no active response, making them ideal for babies. These tests help detect congenital hearing loss, which, if treated early, can significantly improve a child’s developmental outcomes. For toddlers and young children, we use Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA) and Conditioned Play Audiometry (CPA), which turn hearing tests into engaging, interactive activities that capture and sustain the child’s attention.

As children grow older, Pure Tone Audiometry and Speech Audiometry are used to evaluate the degree and type of hearing loss and speech understanding. Tympanometry is also performed to assess middle ear health, especially in cases of frequent ear infections.

At HHB, we emphasize early intervention and work closely with parents to develop a tailored treatment plan when hearing issues are detected. Whether it involves hearing aids, speech therapy, or medical referral, we ensure that each child receives the right support at the right time.
