Your child will see a highly-skilled pediatric audiologist with a doctoral degree in Audiology. The audiologist may make additional referrals to other professionals, including: 

• A pediatrician 
• An ear, nose and throat physician 
• A speech pathologist 
• Other specialists as needed

Before an audiologist evaluates your child, you and your child will go through a few other steps in the appointment process. 

• Obtain a detailed case history for your child.
• Once the case history is complete, we will bring your child to a sound-proof room where sounds are presented and responses are observed. We will use a number of behavioral testing techniques, depending on the age and developmental level of your child. 
• We will also evaluate your child for outer or middle ear abnormalities that may interfere with accurate testing results. (If we cannot complete typical testing, we may refer your child for a special test called an auditory brainstem response. This test may require sedation.)
