This not only ensures that the device is appropriately calibrated to meet the patient's needs but also allows for ongoing assessment and adjustment as necessary.

Children’s Hearing Tests at The Yorkshire Hearing Centre
Fortunately, the majority of permanent hearing loss present at birth is detected through the newborn hearing screening programme. However, there remains a significant number of children who may develop intermittent, fluctuating hearing loss, commonly known as ‘glue ear’. Detecting and addressing such issues early on is paramount, making children’s hearing tests crucial in identifying any hearing impairments, whether present at birth or developing later.
Understanding Glue Ear
Glue ear occurs when the small middle ear space, typically filled with air and containing the three middle ear bones, becomes filled with a sticky, mucus-like fluid. This fluid restricts the movement of the eardrum and the middle ear bones, diminishing the transmission of sound to the cochlea in the inner ear. As a result, children may experience a hearing loss ranging from 0 to 50 dB, significantly affecting their ability to hear and communicate effectively.
Indicators of Glue Ear
Recognizing the signs of glue ear is crucial for early intervention. Children with glue ear may exhibit behaviours such as not responding to their name, deterioration in behaviour, frequently asking "what" or "pardon," appearing tired or unsettled, unclear speech, apparent inattentiveness, difficulty hearing TV or instructions, and struggles with hearing at a distance.
Treatment for Glue Ear
While glue ear is common and often short-lived, persistent cases lasting more than three months may require intervention. Mr Khan, with years of experience in managing glue ear, collaborates with Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialists or provides support with onward referrals as necessary. Through comprehensive assessment and monitoring, Mr Khan can offer tailored advice and strategies to address your child's specific needs.
How We Can Help
Mr Khan can conduct thorough assessments using age-appropriate techniques such as play audiometry, pure tone audiometry, Tympanometry and Oto-acoustic emission (OAE) tests. These tests are designed to evaluate your child's hearing accurately, ensuring early detection and intervention for any hearing concerns.
If you're concerned about your child's hearing, Mr Khan is here to provide expert support and guidance. Contact us today to arrange a children’s hearing test and take the first step towards ensuring your child's optimal hearing health and development.
