We Listen So Your Child Can Hear
Audiology
Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Department of Audiology provides comprehensive diagnoses of hearing loss for children up to 21 years old.
Our hearing experts offer a wide range of services to address the needs of patients and their families – no matter how slight or rare their hearing loss may be.
About Audiology
We know it can be scary if your child has hearing issues. But that’s why we’re here to help. Our specially trained pediatric audiologists have expertise in working with children. We decide which tests are important to do, and complete them with accuracy and efficiency. If a hearing loss is identified, we will give you information about hearing loss, communication options and resources.
Our team brings together otolaryngology, audiology, speech language pathology, family support, nursing and social work to help with every aspect of a child’s treatment.
Audiology requires a referral from your child's primary care physician or specialist.Your child’s physician can request an appointment online or call (614) 722-3951 for more information.
Did your newborn receive a non-pass/refer for his or her Universal Newborn Hearing Screening? Please schedule a hearing evaluation now by calling (614) 722-6200.
