Pediatrics
North Central Hearing Associates is proud of our Pediatric Audiology services that we provide. Our audiologist provides hearing testing and hearing aid fittings for infants and children who are having a wide range of hearing disorders.
Audiology is the science of testing the auditory system, and it is important for each piece to work as well as possible in order to facilitate communication. At a pediatric level, this is vitally important. We examine each piece and work with your family and other members of your child’s care team—teachers, caregivers, physicians and therapists–to meet all of your child’s audiological needs.
