Tests for Diagnosing Your Child's Ear Problem

With our advanced equipment and experts in children's inner ear care, you can expect a timely and proper diagnosis.

Ear microscopy

We use a powerful microscope to magnify the inside of your child's ear. Your child will be awake and lying down.

This painless procedure allows us to see tiny structures in the inner ear and diagnose your child's condition.

Hearing test

An audiologist measures all aspects of hearing, such as:

  • The range of pitches your child can hear (from high or low).
  • How loudly or softly your child hears sounds.

Treatments for Your Child's Ear Problems

We offer a range of surgeries and other treatments to improve your child's health and hearing.
