Audiology Assesment : Hearing tests for Autism

Audiologist

Hi

I am an audiologist and my main role is to test childrens hearing, it has come to my attention that over the last few years we have seen an increase in those children with autism.

I just wonder if anyone has had any experience with the hearing assesment with their children and how they feel the hearing test went and how the audiologist manged to test your childs hearing?  

I am very conscience as an audiologist and relaise that at times due to lack of understanding and training that obtaining a hearing test can be very difficult ?

I just wonder what you as parents feel and is there any advice and tips you may wish to give to help us audiologists?.....also any fellow audiologists out there who have any tips??

  • Hi all,

    @Longman - Thanks for your sharing your insight as always. In this instance Audiologist had the intention of starting a discussion in order to get some feedback, tips and advice regarding hearing assessments for children with autism. It is clear this is not student research. As long this remains general and not specific to individuals on here we think this would be a valuable discussion to have in the community. Please try not to be judgemental in your responses and remember that professionals sometimes make typos (I know I do!).

    @Audiologist - It is ok to ask general questions about this but for more specific professional advice you might like to head over to Network Autism for our professional autism network.

    Hope this helps,
