For the convenience of our patients the Practice policy is to perform hearing testing at the time of consultation where applicable. Because of the constraints of time, the child’s cooperation or underlying medical problems, the hearing assessment may not be adequate at the time and the child may require further hearing assessment at a specialised centre, such as the Telethon Speech & Hearing Centre, Lions Hearing Centre, Princess Margaret Hospital for Children, Child Development Centre or Australian Hearing Services. Infants and very young children will be tested, where possible, by specialist graduate Audiologists in the Rooms. Otoacoustic emission testing facilities are available for newborn and objective testing of hearing function.
