Practising for my hearing test

  Practising for my hearing test

Play audiometry is a way of testing children’s hearing using listening games. Watch our video with your child to help prepare them for their hearing test.

Like in our film, practising ‘Ready, Steady…Go!’ games at home is a great way to teach your child the waiting and listening skills needed for this type of hearing test. Practising looking in each other’s ears and with headphones or earphones can also help.

Examples of other ‘Ready, Steady…Go!’ games you can play at home include:

  • running or jumping
  • throwing/rolling a ball
  • using a stacking toy eg bricks
  • racing a car across the table/floor
  • putting a jigsaw piece in a puzzle

Remember, to help your child learn to wait before they can do the action, vary the time before you say …‘Go!’

 

Making my new earmoulds

Ivy needs new earmoulds for her hearing aids. Watch this film with your child and see how impressions are taken of Ivy’s ears to make her new earmoulds.

 

Earwax removal

To help prepare children for their appointment in the ENT department at Evelina London Children's Hospital we have produced a video showing children attending a wax removal appointment.

The video shows the ENT clinical nurse specialist removing wax with a specially designed wax removal scoop and microscope and suction. Advice regarding care of the ears is also given.
