Hearing Screening for Newborns, Children, and Adults – Available at HearBear in Fraser valley.
Did you know that hearing screening can be performed as early as birth?
At HearBear Hearing Clinic in Surrey, British Columbia, we provide Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) testing, a safe, objective, and non-invasive hearing assessment. This test does not require any active response from the patient and evaluates how well the inner ear (cochlear hair cells) are functioning.
OAE testing plays an important role in newborn hearing screening, pediatric hearing assessments, and adult hearing evaluations, and is part of our standard diagnostic testing battery at HearBear.
While our comprehensive diagnostic hearing evaluations are available for individuals aged 4 years and older, we also offer specialized assessments for newborns to 3-year-old children, including:
Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE): To assess inner ear (hair cell) function
Tympanometry: To evaluate middle ear conditions such as fluid, pressure changes, or infections
These tests can be safely performed at any age, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and children under 4 years.
If you are looking for hearing screening in Surrey, South Surrey, Delta, New Westminster, Langley, or across Metro Vancouver, or need pediatric hearing testing or newborn hearing services near you, contact HearBear today to learn more or to book an appointment.
