Audiology - Paediatrics
The paediatric audiology department provides specialist assessment and management of babies and children aged 0-16 with hearing problems, with close links to others professionals who have contact with these children.
Children who require a hearing aid are issued with the latest digital technology and we will continue to update this and provide care until they reach adulthood.
