Hearing Loss

Our team sees children with known hearing loss and developmental concerns.
Your team

Who are we?Hearing loss can be managed

Your team is made up of clinicians from different specialties, including: a developmental pediatrician, a psychologist, a speech-language pathologist, a nurse clinician, an occupational therapist, a physiotherapist, a recreation therapist, and a social worker. Sometimes we might also ask for your child to be assessed by an audiologist or an ear, nose and throat doctor. 

Your child may or may not see all of these clinicians - each child has different needs. Our team will work with you to determine which team members will see your child.

What do we do?

We:

  • help you understand your child's hearing loss and how it may affect your child's development and behaviour
Your appointment

Please arrive at least 15 minutes ahead of your appointment time and check in with our receptionist at the main entrance of Sunny Hill.

Please bring to all appointments: 

  • your child or teenager's hearing aids along with some spare batteries, or cochlear implant device if applicable

If your child takes regular medication (such as for ADHD), be sure he or she takes the dose as usual unless you are told not to.
