Audiology

Good hearing is an important part of speech development. Audiologists at Summit Medical Group provide testing for people of all ages to identify and manage hearing and balance disorders. They will partner with your child’s speech therapist to ensure your child gets the comprehensive care he or she needs.

Hearing loss (or hearing impairment) is defined as hearing problems in one or both ears. It includes the inability to hear the range of sounds that is normal for most people. People with hearing loss or hearing impairment might hear some sounds, but they also might hear no sounds.

Our audiologists teach patients with hearing loss about leading-edge hearing aid technology and communication strategies to manage in difficult listening situations.

If you think your child might have difficulty hearing, ask him or her questions from our Five-minute Hearing Test. The results will help determine whether he or she should be evaluated and treated for hearing loss.
