Audiology Service for children and young people | Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

We can test your child's hearing levels and find any hearing difficulties early. Hearing tests can vary depending on the age and stage of development of your child. under six months old: it’s usually best if your child is asleep during the test, as they are usually too young to show reliable responses to the sounds that they hear over six months old: most children are usually able to look for sounds, so we can teach them to listen for a sound and earn a visual reward around three years old and over: we teach them to play games which involve responding when they hear a noise We’ll offer the right test based on their development stage and the information you as the parent provide us. Some tests might need to be done over a few sessions so we can get as much information as possible, but we'll discuss this with you.
