School aged children are generally able to manage this test. Tones of varying frequency and intensity are played through the headphones or insert phones. Children must press a hand-held button for as long as they can hear a sound. The loudness of the sounds are reduced until they stop responding. This is the threshold of hearing, which we then plot, creating an audiogram.
Opening times
The department is open from 8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Thursday, and 8.30am to 4.30pm Friday. Saturday mornings on an ad-hoc basis.
