Support from our Educational Audiologist

The Sensory Consortium Service Educational Audiologist works jointly with the Audiology Departments of both the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading and King Edward VII Hospital in Windsor to ensure that both the medical and educational aspects of each child's hearing loss and audiological needs are met in a streamlined fashion. The Educational Audiologist works jointly with the hospital audiologists at all Under 5 Clinics and some Over 5 Clinics during term time. The Educational Audiologist ensures that any exchange of information between Health and Education and Education and Health takes place.

The joint clinic sessions will offer the opportunity to:

• Monitor your child's hearing.

• Discuss your child's progress.

• Listen to your observations and questions.

• Measure the effectiveness of your child's hearing aids, if fitted.

• Help you manage the hearing aids.

• Make specially moulded ear pieces for your child's hearing aids.

• Ensure that any links to educational equipment, e.g. radio aids are enabled.

• Ensure that information from the audiology aspect is passed back to Education.

• Ensure that information from the educational aspect of your child's development is passed on to Audiology.
