2 to 3 children are born with some degree of hearing loss every 1000 births.
At Basin Hearing Solutions we understand how important it is for parents to find out about their child’s hearing as soon as possible. We understand the doubts and worries a family experiences when their child’s hearing is a concern. Because we appreciate your concerns, we offer appointments within 48 hours for children 6 months and older. Our testing is thorough. We perform: Middle Ear Testing to confirm or rule out middle ear fluid and/or infections, Audiometric Testing to establish a child’s hearing thresholds using different techniques depending on the child’s age, and Otoacoustic Emissions Tests to determine inner ear hair cell function. We work closely with pediatricians and pediatric ear nose and throat specialists on these matters.
Basin Hearing Solutions has partnered with local hospitals to re-screen infants if they refer their initial newborn hearing screening. If further testing is needed to rule out permanent hearing loss Dr. Jackson will refer you to the appropriate specialist. If hearing loss is confirmed Dr. Jackson will work with your family at providing the best treatment that works for your child.
