Hearing can help us to connect to the world around us. It can help us to communicate, keep us safe and bring us joy.
UW Health Kids audiology focuses on evaluation and treatment of children’s hearing. Our team of audiologists evaluates hearing in kids from birth through age 17. For those diagnosed with hearing loss, we offer a variety of treatment plans.
We use a variety of tests to assess hearing in children in order to accurately diagnose hearing conditions. We work with the child and their family to then develop an individualized treatment plan. We work to engage young children in testing by using toys and games.
