Pediatric Otolaryngologists (ENTs) check the ear, nose, and throat to manage hearing issues, airway problems, and speech difficulties.
Audiologists will assess your child’s hearing needs, provide counseling, and refer you to other doctors if needed. If your child has issues with their hearing device or needs a new earmold, the audiologist can help troubleshoot or take impressions.
Genetic counselors are part of your healthcare team, helping with risk assessment, education, and support for inherited conditions. They interpret genetic tests, offer counseling, and advocate for patients. A genetic counselor works with the medical geneticist to review your child's medical and family history, discuss testing options, and explain test results.
Medical geneticists are doctors who specialize in how genes affect health. They evaluate, manage, treat, and counsel patients and families with genetic conditions. Our medical geneticists work with the genetic counselor to determine the cause of your child's hearing loss. This involves reviewing medical history, performing a physical examination, and discussing the possibility of genetic testing.
Nurse coordinators help families by organizing services, appointments, and tests. They ensure smooth communication between the team members and assist with scheduling follow-up appointments. The nurse coordinator makes sure that your child's team works together to provide the best care possible.
