Going to Audiology

Going to Audiology

Audiology is at the Hospital At audiology I get my ears checked. I will try to listen carefully

We will go through the hospital and into Audiology reception and maybe say ‘hello’.

We usually wait in the Waiting room. There might be lots of people waiting.

I can look at a book or play with toys in the playroom while I wait.

When its time to go and see the audiologist, somebody will say my name. Then we will walk down the corridor and look for the Audiologist.

Here is Tony. He is one of the Audiologists. The Audiologist is the person who will check my ears. Tony likes to play listening games and look in your ear.

This is the Audiology Room. There is a table and some chairs. There are some toys to play with. It is very quiet in the Audiology Room. The Audiologist will be really happy if I sit down at the table.

Now it is time to do some good listening. Sometimes I may hear the noise – beep beep and it makes the toys dance.

I might wear headphones or inserts so I can hear some sounds.

I will try to listen for the noise – beep beep When I hear the noise the audiologist’s helper may ask me to put the men in the boat, throw a ball or build a tower.

This is an auroscope. It is like an ear torch. If I sit really still the audiologist can look in my ear. This is ok.

This is a tympanography machine. The audiologist may put it in my ear to check if my ears are working. It feels a bit tickly but this is ok.

Then it will be time to leave the hospital. Everybody will be happy when I have listened well. Bye bye
