Hearing in Schools

We provide comprehensive hearing services for children, from birth to 19 years old, including screening and clinical audiology services.

Screening for elementary and secondary schools

The Mobile Hearing Clinic visits elementary schools twice during the school year (Fall/Winter and Spring) to screen for hearing loss and for medical conditions of the outer and middle ear.

You can also refer secondary school students for hearing screening by submitting the referral form below.

Make a referral for screening Complete the referral form below and fax it to the Audiology Centre at least one week before the scheduled screening date at your school. We do not accept referrals on the day of the screening. 

Signed consent from a parent or guardian must be obtained for students in grades 1-8.

Request for Hearing Screening

Based on the screening results, we may refer a student for more comprehensive assessment by an audiologist at the Audiology Centre. We will notify parents/guardians directly if an assessment is needed.
