Audiology
Hearing screening is available at both centres. Diagnostic testing, including BERA, is carried out at Kalyan Nagar by appointment. This is a centre-based service; we do not carry out audiology at home.
Consultation and assessment fees are explained before booking.
It is worth checking when speech is slow to arrive, after a newborn screening referral, or when hearing still feels uncertain.
Our audiologist works across both centres. Diagnostic testing is scheduled at Kalyan Nagar, and audiology is not offered at home.
Inside a hearing visit
Hearing screening runs at both centres; diagnostic testing, including BERA, happens at Kalyan Nagar by appointment. Here is the sequence, and what a result can and cannot tell you.
BERA works best with a settled, sleepy child, so the morning is timed around naps. Bring any newborn screening result, previous reports, or a referral letter.
OAE uses a small tip at the ear and a soft sound, often while your child sits on your lap. BERA places small sensors on the head and plays soft sounds while your child rests or sleeps. Nothing pierces the skin.
A test can come back as pass, or as refer, which means further assessment is recommended. It is not a diagnosis and not a verdict on your child. We explain exactly what it points to next.

Each test comes as a screening and a diagnostic version. Screening is the quick first check; diagnostic testing goes deeper and is carried out at Kalyan Nagar by appointment. Every test is explained fully before the appointment, so you know what will happen and what your child will feel.
The quick first check. A small tip sits at the ear and plays a soft sound while the ear’s own response is measured. Your child needs to be settled, but not asleep, and it is often done while they sit on your lap. Available at both centres.
A fuller OAE assessment, used when a screening result or the wider picture needs a closer look. The same gentle tip and soft sounds, with more detailed measurement. Carried out at Kalyan Nagar, by appointment.
A screening check for children who cannot take part in a standard hearing test. Small sensors are placed on the head, and soft sounds play while your child rests or sleeps. This one needs a sleepy child, so it is planned around nap times. Available at both centres.
The fuller BERA test, for a closer look at how the hearing pathway responds. Small sensors on the head and soft sounds while your child rests or sleeps, with more detailed measurement and a written report. Carried out at Kalyan Nagar, by appointment.
A re-check is worthwhile if a newborn screening was missed, gave a referral, or needs confirming.
A little preparation helps the test go well, because it works best with a sleepy child.

No. OAE uses a soft sound and a small tip at the ear. BERA uses tiny sensors on the head and plays soft sounds while your child rests. Nothing pierces the skin, and nothing hurts.
Not necessarily. A refer result means further assessment is recommended, not that your child cannot hear. Newborn screenings are quick, and many babies are referred simply for a re-check. We’ll test properly and explain what we find.
No. Audiology here is a centre-based service. Hearing screening is available at both centres, and diagnostic testing, including BERA, is carried out at Kalyan Nagar by appointment, because the equipment and setup need a controlled room. Tele-audiology guidance is offered remotely for families who have moved away after a device or a service, but the testing itself happens at the centre.
No. You can call us and ask about an appointment directly.
