WHEN YOU SHOULD CONSULT AN AUDIOLOGIST

Our team of Speech Language Pathologists assess and treat children and adults who have communication, cognitive, voice, and swallowing impairments. Our pediatric team has specialized training in pediatric swallowing diagnostics and treatment, as well as language development for children with delayed language and communication skills. Our adult team has specialized training in the most current techniques in voice and swallowing diagnostics, including Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES).

You would seek the services of an audiologist if you or someone you know is having difficulty hearing. It may be difficult for you to determine if a child is having hearing problems. You might consult an audiologist for a child if:

• The child has difficulty understanding what people are saying.
  
• You think the child is speaking differently than other children of the same age.
  
• As an infant, the child does not respond to sounds or people’s voices.
  

What the Audiologist Will Do:

• Test how well you hear sounds of different pitches.
  
• Test how well you understand speech at different levels of loudness.
  
• Do special tests, if necessary, to further identify what type of hearing problem you have.

An audiologist can evaluate your hearing,determine whether you have a hearing loss,
and make recommendations for hearing health care. This may include a referral to a physician or recommendations for hearing aids or other amplifying devices or methods to modify the listening environment.
