Testing is at the heart of the role. Key tests include ABR testing, OAE measurements, and behavioural audiometry. Audiologists use these to check hearing in children of all ages. Care plans may include hearing aid fitting, cochlear implant mapping, or hearing therapy.
Teamwork is central to the role. Pediatric Audiologists work alongside speech pathologists, paediatricians, and teachers to give full care. They also guide families, explaining the impact of a hearing diagnosis and the options available.
New tools in cochlear implant care and remote audiology are opening new areas of practice. Accreditation with Audiology Australia is the standard for all Australian audiologists. Those who want to specialise further can pursue Advanced Paediatric Certification through Audiology Australia.
