If your child has a hearing problem, your child’s pediatrician may recommend:
With EOAE, their pediatrician inserts a soft plug into their ear that plays different sounds. If your baby has hearing loss, their ears won’t respond to the sounds. For ABR, the sounds involve clicking noises. Both tests are quick and painless and only performed when your baby is sleeping.
When your child can’t see well, it can affect their school and work performance. Newtown Pediatrics offers several vision tests, including distance vision, close-up vision, and color blindness tests.
Vision screenings can help detect potential eye problems that might cause serious complications. Early treatment can preserve your child’s eyesight and vision.
After your child receives testing for their specific health issues, Newtown Pediatrics develops a care plan that helps them overcome challenges and achieve a better quality of life.
If your child has a complex medical condition, your child’s pediatrician works closely with a local specialist to ensure continuity of care.
