A professional child hearing test is essential if your child is showing signs of hearing difficulties, delayed speech, or has not passed a routine school screening. Early identification and treatment of hearing issues can make a significant difference in your child’s language development, learning, and overall wellbeing.

We use advanced, age-appropriate technology to perform accurate hearing assessments for children of all ages. Our clinic features a full sound field test environment, allowing us to test hearing without headphones—a more natural and engaging approach for young children.

Our child hearing test services include:

• Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA) – suitable for infants and toddlers

• Conditioned Play Audiometry (CPA) – ideal for early school-age children

• Tympanometry and Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs) – to assess middle and inner ear function

• Full Sound Field Testing – ideal for children who prefer not to wear headphones

Our paediatrically trained audiologists has years of experience working with children. We understand how to keep children relaxed, engaged, and focused during testing through play-based techniques and gentle guidance. Whether your child has special needs, anxiety, or is simply shy, our team knows how to create a positive experience.

If you have concerns about your child’s hearing, The Hearing Centre is here to help.

In line with Care Quality Commission (CQC) guidelines, our child hearing test service is available to children aged 5 and over who are in full-time education.

Our experienced team provides clear, professional assessments in a welcoming, child-friendly environment—helping you understand your child’s hearing needs and the best next steps.
