Hearing test for 1year old

Hmm I think that was the lady that did M's first hearing test in the hospital. Will give her a call thanks Julz!

Deidre Stroebel 021 930 3136. The are amazing with kids and do all the hearing tests at the hospital just after birth. Dylan has been 3 times now.

Joli, we're in Durbanville area. Mignione's paed actually referred us to someone who came to do the tests, but he told us he doesn't usually work with kids and he couldn't even get the test thingie in her ear to start with the hearing tests? Will contact Angie and ask her wether she can't refer me to someone.

Julz, as I explained above, the guy couldn't even get the thing into Mignione's ear..she just pulls it out as soon as he puts it in and apparently there's supposed to be no sound but M screams if we go near her ears. Please give me a number of the place in Panorama?

Marilu Dylan went to the audiologist at Panorama.

They do a quick test by putting a device in each ear to check for fluid etc and then you go into a cool room where they test the ears with toys that make noises etc.

They are quite good there.

Marilu - where are you based. I know someone in Corlett Drive - very nice lady who should be able to assist you or to refer you to someone. I think the best way is to contact an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist for a referral.

Also speak to Angie on this forum - she is doing it but in Rustenburg - she gave me some referrals for speech terapy as well.

Is there no one that has more info on hearing tests?

Hi there

Can anyone tell me more about hearing tests for 1 year olds? My baby was supposed to get a hearing test yesterday (she's got loads of problems with ear infections) but she refused to let them put the thingie into her ear to do the test. We even tried doing it while she was sleeping but she immediately woke up when we went near her ears. Is there only one test that can be done or is there a test available that DOESN'T require stuff to be put in her ear.
