When shouldyou get checked?

Don’t wait it out. Here’s what to look for.

How old is your child?

By 2 years, most children:

Hearing & understanding

  • Points to a few body parts when asked
  • Follows simple commands and understands simple questions
  • Points to pictures in a book when named

Talking

  • Says more words every month
  • Uses some one- or two-word questions
  • Puts two words together — ‘more biscuit’

If your child isn’t doing most of these yet, a hearing and speech assessment is the right first step. Early help makes the biggest difference.

Book a child assessment

Hearing loss doesn’tsound like silence.

Speech starts to sound mumbled, not quiet. Try a one-minute check with headphones.

Five pitches in each ear, softer and softer. Press the button — or the space bar — the moment you hear beeps.

About a minute. You’ll need headphones and a quiet room.

A sketch, not a diagnosis. Without calibrated equipment this shows only the shape of your hearing on this device. A test in Shaba’s sound-treated room measures it properly.

What families say

In their own words.

A girl whispers into a younger boy’s ear

One of the best in India. Their teaching methodology and techniques are the best. My son’s mapping and AV therapy has been done by Shaba Speech and Hearing Centre for the last three years, and I have seen a lot of progress in my son’s ability to hear and speak because of their dedication and hard work. Their guidance has helped us a lot.
