\"Child<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s only one thing that\u2019s more important than finding the right audiologist for yourself, it\u2019s finding the best audiologist<\/a> for your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thought of going to the audiologist for a hearing test<\/a> or hearing aid fitting<\/a> can be scary for a child. Choosing the right audiologist will make everything a little less daunting for your child, which is obviously great news for mom and dad too. Most importantly, it gives your little angel the best chance of gaining the best support. Here\u2019s all you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think About The Location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As an adult, you might be happy to travel a little further for your audiologist appointments. However, the journey can be one of the most frightening parts of the entire day for your child. With this in mind, it pays to choose an audiology center that\u2019s not too far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that the nearest center is the best choice, but you won\u2019t want a four-hour round trip for each appointment. After all, there could be several visits over the coming months if a problem is identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check The Child-Friendly Credentials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some audiologists specialize in pediatric audiology, which is great. While there\u2019s no need to select an audiologist that only works with children, it certainly pays to check their child-friendliness levels. From communication to the waiting room facilities, every aspect is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little online research will help you analyze the credentials of the audiologist while also finding reviews from other parents. If they\u2019re happy with the services that their children have received, there\u2019s a good chance you will be too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask For Recommendations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the online reviews of other parents, you can ask other parents about where they go. Around 15 percent of children have hearing problems, so it\u2019s likely that at least one of your child\u2019s friends will wear hearing aids or use another form of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you could speak to your pediatric doctor for some advice. The medical experts should have a pretty solid understanding of the various audiologists in the local area, and can usually point you towards the best option depending on your child\u2019s age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call Around<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, your gut instincts will go a long way to telling you whether the audiologist is right for your child. Only you will know if the connection feels right, and a few minutes on the telephone should clear up any confusion or ambiguity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In truth, speaking directly on the phone is often a quicker solution than searching around the internet, and this could be the key to getting the best results. For the sake of your child\u2019s hearing health, it\u2019s vital that you do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
