Assessment and management of children's hearing (aged 0 to 16)
Our service specialises in assessment and management of children's hearing. We work with children and young people aged 0 to 16.
We also monitor some children's hearing. For example, if you have a condition that means your hearing might get worse.
If a child or young person in Brighton & Hove needs a hearing aid or cochlear implant, we can refer them for this. Sometimes a child may need to be assessed further, for example by the Ear Nose and Throat service. We can refer your child if this is the case.
We offer advice and counselling to children with hearing difficulties and their parent carers. We can also help with management techniques for:
tinnitus
hyperacusis
auditory processing disorder
We can provide information and advice about communication tactics and strategies.
More information on what we do.
Speak to your child's doctor or the SENCO at their school if you have concerns about your child's hearing. Any health professional or SENCO can refer to our service with parental consent.
Open Monday to Friday, 9am to 4:30pm.
