Why Pediatric Hearing Testing Is So Important
Hearing plays a critical role in a child’s ability to:
- Develop clear speech and language
- Follow directions and engage in classroom learning
- Build confidence and social skills
- Form strong relationships at home and school
Even mild or temporary hearing loss can interfere with these essential skills. Early identification and intervention can make a life-changing difference in your child’s growth and success.
Signs Your Child May Need a Hearing Test
You may want to schedule a pediatric hearing evaluation if your child:
- Doesn’t respond to sounds or their name consistently
- Has delayed speech or unclear speech
- Frequently asks “what?” or turns up the volume too high
- Struggles to follow verbal directions
- Is easily distracted in noisy environments
- Had a newborn hearing screening but hasn’t been retested
