The Audiology Place is an independent, family-focused hearing clinic providing expert, practical support for children and families. We see children from around 6 months of age, helping parents understand whether hearing may be affecting their child’s speech, learning, behaviour or confidence.

Hearing problems in children are not always obvious. A child might seem to hear normally at home but struggle in a noisy classroom, frequently ask for things to be repeated, turn the volume up, appear distracted, misunderstand instructions or have difficulty keeping up with conversations. Sometimes recurrent ear infections or glue ear can also cause fluctuating hearing that is easy to miss.
