The Audiology Unit

Audiologic performs audiological hearing test

Beit Micha offers an Audiology Unit where hearing tests, tympanometry and OAE tests are conducted. The audiologists are experiences in examining young children and fitting hearing aids at these ages. The tests are conducted by two audiologists, one of whom is in the test room with the child and the parent, while the other operates the test device (the audiometer) from outside.

During the examination of a baby, the two audiologists must remain attentive and alert to the infant’s responses to the various sounds that are played to him or her.

Each child who arrives at Beit Micha first undergoes an auditory diagnosis in hospital or in an audiological institute, which includes objective and/or behavioral hearing tests (if necessary, also a tympanometry test). In light of the results of the child’s hearing test, the child is then referred to Beit Micha to assess the need for auditory rehabilitation. Upon the child’s admission to Beit Micha, a behavioral hearing test is held and subsequently the child is fitted a hearing aid. If necessary, additional tests are also performed, such as tympanometry and OAE.

In some cases, the child will be fitted with hearing aids borrowed from Beit Micha’s lending bank. The process of fitting the hearing aids is accompanied by a professional team that guides and advises the family in the process.

After the hearing aids have been fitted, the parents are directed to purchase hearing aids. In cases where a hearing aid does not meet the child’s hearing needs, the parents are given information about additional rehabilitation options, such as a cochlear implant, and they can then turn to a transplant center they choose.
