A child’s ability to hear can have a major impact on their ability to learn, acquire language skills, and behaviour. However, if caught early, significant improvements can be made. At Expert Hearing Solutions, our trained and licensed audiologists diagnose and treat hearing loss in children of all ages.

Common indications for a hearing evaluation include:

Speech delay

Poor school performance

Frequent or recurrent ear infections

Diagnosis of autism or pervasive developmental disorder (PDD)

Diagnosis of ADD or ADHD

A family history of hearing loss

Syndromes associated with hearing loss (Down Syndrome, Alport Syndrome or Crouzon Syndrome)

Infectious diseases such as meningitis, measles, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection

Medical treatments including some antibiotics and some chemotherapy agents
