About Us
Nearly three of every 1,000 children in the U.S. are born with detectable hearing loss in one or both ears. Our Audiology team understands the importance of early detection and intervention to prevent speech and language development delays. We provide comprehensive assessments, treatment and management of hearing loss with individualized care plans for your patients. We also collaborate with other healthcare and educational professionals to ensure holistic support for your patient’s communication and learning outcomes.
Several conditions can contribute to hearing loss in children, including:
Fluid or infection in the ear
Premature birth
Infections during pregnancy, such as cytomegalovirus or rubella
Infections after birth, such as otitis media or meningitis
Genetic conditions such as Down syndrome, CHARGE syndrome, Usher syndrome or Treacher Collins syndrome
Craniofacial issues
Head trauma
Neurodegenerative disorders
