Today is World Hearing Day!๐Ÿฆป

We love being able to support our community by offering hearing testing and hearing aid and cochlear implant device services for children throughout Oregon. ๐ŸŒฒ

We were on the news!! There's nothing small about what our business does.

We are so grateful to be recognized for our commitment to deaf/hard of hearing children and their families. We are always accepting new clinic patients and hoping to add more D/HH friends to our 0-5 school program. ๐Ÿงโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฆป

Thank you to everyone who has ever scheduled an appointment with our office, enrolled in one of our classrooms or worked on our team. We could not have this impact and growth without your support! ๐Ÿฅฐ

The sounds at SoundStart in Beaverton fill the space with laughter and play from the young students.

You've been seeing the art of our resident graphic designer, Scott, over the last couple weeks. Well, today, the kids in our program are celebrating his birthday by drawing his portrait!
Happy birthday, Scott/Stuck! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‚

In 2025 (and continuing into 2026), we welcomed 2 audiology externs to the soundSTART team. These students are in their final year of training before graduating with their Doctorate of Audiology (AuD). ๐ŸŽ“

We enjoy mentoring them and watching them grow their clinical skills. We look forward to seeing them enter the profession this coming spring and summer! They both have been big helpers in our clinic and early childhood program. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Thanks to Pacific University and University of Cincinnati for trusting us with this crucial piece of their education! ๐Ÿง  We also added a full time staff member to support our clinic operations and assist with care coordination. Make sure to say hello to Zoe when you see her in the office during your visit!

We work closely with the Oregon Early Hearing Detection & Intervention (EHDI) program to ensure all babies born in Oregon can access hearing screening. Newborn hearing screening should be done at birth or within the first month of a childโ€™s life, but itโ€™s never too late to check a childโ€™s hearing. We perform these screenings in our office on any day of the week. They are typically a short, simple visit with a member of our audiology team. We make it as comfortable and as fun as we can. We accept what we bill to insurance as payment in full - parents never get a bill. No cost, no pain, a few minutes and you learn how your baby hears.

Our clinic and team love reading and giving books with children who come to see us in both offices. ๐Ÿ“– We support the generosity of Dolly Partonโ€™s Imagination Library and follow her lead in our own little way. Every child under age 5 is eligible to receive a free book each month for free. ๐ŸŽ‰

We help families get signed up when they come in to see one of our clinicians. We help spread the word, prepare the registration form and get the child enrolled online. ๐Ÿ“‘ Then they start receiving a book each month until age 5!

Families are delighted to learn about the Dolly Parton Imagination Library and grateful we take the time to get them enrolled. We are so grateful this amazing program exists! We wish more millionaires and billionaires lived like Dolly Parton! ๐Ÿฅฐ

From the start, we strived to create a clinical setting that is welcoming and unique. We do that in a lot of tiny and big ways. โœจ

Everyone who has worked at soundSTART has shared a lot in common, but in particular, we are all huge readers! ๐Ÿ“š We all know the benefits of reading for children and adults, so we committed to giving a new book to every child at every appointment! We love helping build every childโ€™s personal libraries. By making reading at home easier, we are promoting lifelong learning, personal achievement, and boosting cognitive and social/emotional skills. ๐Ÿ†

One of our BIGGEST highlights of the year was finally getting our school officially licensed and opened. Our teachers do a tremendous job every day encouraging wear time, expanding on their speech and language goals and making beautiful memories! ๐Ÿฅฐ

Our program is growing and we love offering a learning environment focused on language and communication with caring adults. Big shout out for Sarah for keeping this dream alive and making it happen in 2025! Getting a school licensed is a LOT of work! ๐Ÿ“‹

We love finally having all of our services available for our children and families. Spread the word! ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ We welcome tours and drop-ins for any interested families with a DHH child under 5.

One of our favorite things about being a pediatric focused clinic is sharing in the joy and wonder of a child's reality and their curious imaginations. We see this everyday when working with children to pick their earmolds! Often our patients need custom earmolds to maximize the benefit and function of their hearing aids.

We love partnering with another woman-owned business to make our patient's visions for their earmolds become a reality! We get our batches of earmolds on Wednesdays and it has become a highlight each week to see how they all turned out! If you peek in our past photos, you will see a lot of fun earmolds! We will be sure to share more in 2026!

What color earmolds would you pick if you could choose? ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŸ ๐ŸŸก๐ŸŸข๐Ÿ”ต๐ŸŸฃ
