About the center

Children with hearing and balance disorders require specialized care that addresses both their medical needs and developmental milestones. Our team is uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat conditions affecting hearing, the ears, and balance.

Because hearing plays a critical role in speech and language development, our audiologists and speech-language pathologists work together to help children develop age-appropriate receptive and expressive language skills, ensuring they have the support they need for long-term success.

Preparing for your visit

Please bring all relevant records you already have, such as hearing tests or speech-language evaluations. For cochlear implant users, you can ask the clinic you’re coming from to email records from their clinic. Having this information will save time and help our team make a more informed diagnosis and provide better care.
