​
Many education-based programs do not have access to a qualified audiologist in their area. As a result, many students with hearing loss are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. This may lead to detrimental effects emotionally, psychologically, socially, and academically.
A qualified educational audiologist plays an important role in the academic success of the child, especially those with hearing loss.

SERVICES OFFERED:
HEARING EVALUATIONS
The method of evaluation depends on the child’s developmental and chronological age. Testing is conducted in a sound treated area and is purposed to determine the degree and type of hearing loss, if present. It also evaluates the child's ability to understand speech in quiet and in the presence of background noise.
OTOACOUSTIC EMISSIONS
This test assesses inner ear function. Testing does not require that children tell or show that sounds are heard. It indicates whether the outer hair cells of the cochlea are functioning, and can be measured to be present or absent as long as the child has no occluding ear wax or other middle ear conditions.
IMMITTANCE TESTING
Tympanometry and acoustic reflex thresholds are two ways audiologists test for proper middle ear functioning. Immittance assessments can detect problems such as middle ear fluid, cerumen (ear wax) blockage, or any other middle ear conditions that may affect hearing.
AUDITORY BRAINSTEM RESPONSE TEST
An auditory brainstem response (ABR) test is a safe and painless test to see how the hearing nerves and brain respond to sounds. It gives health care providers information about possible hearing loss.
