Hearing Screenings and our Mobile Audiological Unit

 

It is that time of year when schools begin their hearing screenings of their students. 

If you are a Teacher for the Deaf (TOD), it is very important that you are a part of that follow-up. It is important to be a part of this process to be sure that families know what steps to take if their child is referred for additional screening/tests. 

Here at the Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Education you can connect with our team of Audiologists to have a hearing screening done for you child, for FREE!  To schedule an appointment or to learn more please contact them at: 317-232-7349. If you have a family that is too far from our location here in Indianapolis, you an work to schedule the mobile unit to come to your school district to help check on multiple students.

When you reserve the Mobile Unit to your school district, our Center staff will bring their expertise to you! School staff and community partners may join alongside to help address the needs of children who are deaf and hard of hearing, or have indicated that they needed to be screened additionally from your latest hearing screenings. Having the mobile unit and staff visit will address areas such as specialized early intervention services, educational audiology, classroom strategies, communication needs and technology. 

Our mobile unit is outfitted with a professional sound booth, audiology equipment for hearing testing, and troubleshooting hearing technology. It is also equipped with a consultation area to discuss options and opportunities with our professional and certified staff. 

While our Center will assist with the immediate needs the day of our visit, we will be equally focused on connecting children, families, and professionals to resources within your community for long-term support.
