Pediatric Hearing Tests in Burlington
Is your child hearing clearly?
Hearing plays a critical role in speech, learning, and development—especially in the early years. If you have concerns about your child’s hearing, early testing can make all the difference.
At Empathy Hearing Clinic in Burlington, we provide comprehensive pediatric hearing tests for babies, toddlers, children, and teens in a calm, child-friendly environment.
We proudly support families in Burlington, Oakville, Milton, and across Halton Region.
Signs your child may need a hearing test
Children don’t always say “I can’t hear”—but there are signs to watch for:
Saying “what?” frequently
Difficulty following instructions
Turning up the volume on devices
Trouble hearing in noise (classrooms, sports, group settings)
Not responding consistently when called
Academic or attention concerns
If you’re unsure, it’s always better to check early.
Our child-friendly testing approach
We tailor every assessment to your child’s age, development, and comfort level.
We may use:
Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA) for infants and toddlers
Play Audiometry for preschool and school-aged children
Tympanometry to check middle ear function
Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs) for inner ear screening
Pure tone and speech testing for older children
Our goal is to make testing feel like a positive and engaging experience—not stressful.
