Kid's Services
The Marion Downs Hearing Center provides a variety of quality clinical and educational services to our pediatric population. Late identification and intervention of hearing loss can lead to delayed speech, language, psychosocial, emotional, and academic development. We provide a holistic, multifaceted approach to managing the effects of hearing loss. We work with your child's pediatrician, teachers, speech-language pathologist, and any outside agencies to ensure he/she is progressing and meeting all communication goals. Above all, we value family choice and consider parents to be critical members of the team.
