Hearing Loss Referral
The Provincial Hearing Loss Program at Sunny Hill Health Centre provides specialized assessment and diagnosis services for children and youth from birth to 19 years old who have permanent hearing loss (sensorineural or conductive in type).
Children and youth with all levels of hearing loss (and developmental questions/concerns) are eligible to see a developmental pediatrician and registered nurse.
Only those with permanent bilateral, moderate or a more severe degree of hearing loss are eligible for assessments from other team members. These may include developmental pediatricians, registered nurses, psychologists, speech and language pathologists, recreation therapists and social workers.
We will not accept referrals for psychoeducational assessment of children who have normal/slight-to-moderate hearing loss. We will redirect them to other services instead.
We require an audiology report for referrals to this service.
