Audiology
Audiologists focus on diagnosing specific types of hearing loss for kids. They work closely with the child, his/her family, speech pathologists, school personnel, specialists, and physicians to create a plan that will enhance a child's functional hearing and help them learn and develop.
Cook Children's audiologists also specialize in serving children who have been unable to complete routine audiology testing in traditional settings.
