Pediatric Hearing Solutions
Report
Managing a child's hearing loss appropriately is key in laying the proper foundation for speech, language and social development. In choosing the best hearing aid for a child, considerations vary, depending on the child's age and activity level in addition to the degree and configuration of the hearing loss.
Cochlear Implants

For those individuals with certain severities of hearing loss, traditional hearing aids may not be enough to achieve their best hearing potential. When this occurs, a cochlear implant may be recommended. At Lakeside Audiology, we have the knowledge and expertise to provide evaluation for cochlear implant candidacy and connect our patients to top CI surgeons from highly rated Medical Centers across the Carolinas.
