Pediatric Hearing Clinic

The Grunewald-Blitz Clinic for Communication Disorders in Children is home to a thriving, state of the art, pediatric hearing clinic. Graduate students in Audiology, in conjunction with doctoral-level clinical audiologists, see children with a wide variety of hearing disorders. As a training institution, we are committed to provision of services using the latest evidence-based protocols and equipment. Faculty and students in the CAH actively participate in research to help determine best practice. Past and ongoing pediatric research projects are and have been in the areas of multimemory hearing aids, middle ear assessment, and electrophysiologic evaluation of newborn hearing. Frequent review of the current research literature allows for up to date student training and insures the best possible patient care.
