Most even sleep while it\u2019s happening!<\/p>\n<p>The audiologist places a small device that emits sounds (like a small speaker) in the baby\u2019s outer ear. The sounds are received by the inner ear (cochlea), which makes a weak echo of the sounds. A special piece of equipment analyzes the echoes, called optoacoustic emissions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/find-a-clinic?location=&amp;position=&amp;services%5B%5D=913\">\u00bb Find a clinic that specializes in children between 0 and 8 months<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p>In this video, the audiologist Maril\u00e8ne Roy, explains the importance of a hearing screening for a newborn and how it works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<ul>\n<li>Video available in French only, but English subtitles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t7iGPajwnr0\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>What does the hearing screening for infants show?<\/h2>\n<p>The test results are instantaneous and are explained immediately.<\/p>\n<h4>Pass<\/h4>\n<p>This result indicates that the baby has good hearing or minor hearing impairment. Note that despite its strong sensitivity, the screening test cannot verify all sound frequencies. In addition, some childhood hearing impairments arise some time after birth, for various reasons.<\/p>\n<p>As such, it is very important to carefully monitor your child\u2019s communication development and reaction to sounds as he or she grows.<\/p>\n<h4>Fail<\/h4>\n<p>This result means that your child may have hearing loss in one or both ears. However, conditions surrounding the test, such as too much background noise, may make it difficult for the computer to detect the emissions from the ear, which would influence the test result. More advanced tests would be necessary in this case. If referred to an ENT doctor, the test would entail verification by microscope to detect whether there is an obstruction, like fluid, in the middle ear. Audiology tests may also be done to verify the middle ear (impedance analysis) or to examine the auditory nerve, both of which are adapted for newborns. The audiologist will be able to recommend the specific exams needed and explain them to you when the time comes.<\/p>\n<p>If you suspect your child is having issues with hearing development, don\u2019t hesitate to get a hearing test done.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/find-a-clinic?location=&amp;position=&amp;services%5B%5D=5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">\u00bb\u00a0Find a clinic that specializes in children between 8 months and 4<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1657044459821{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1657044241919{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #f4f4f4 !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Did you know that&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.polycliniquedeloreille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/carnet_rgb-200x167.png\" alt=\"Carnet - requ\u00eate m\u00e9dicale\" width=\"60\" height=\"50\" \/>\u00a0Audiology services do not require a medical prescription.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2358\" src=\"https:\/\/www.polycliniquedeloreille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/argent_rgb-200x260.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"46\" height=\"60\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 Visit fees may be covered by private insurance.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]To learn more about <strong>Complete hearing test &#8211; children<\/strong> services (8 months \u2013 4 years old), <a href=\"\/en\/our-hearing-health-services\/pediatric-audiology\">click here<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;60px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1657043807026{padding-bottom: 2.5em !important;}&#8221;] NEONATAL AUDIOLOGY [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1657043814427{padding-bottom: 2.5em !important;}&#8221;]The audiologist can also perform hearing screenings for newborns.
