Your child’s audiogram is a picture of what sounds they can hear based on testing. But what do those numbers, lines, and shapes mean?
In this webinar designed specifically for families, we’ll dive into what an audiogram shows you about your child’s hearing so you can feel confident explaining your child’s hearing loss, their audiogram, and what sounds reach their brain.
Dr. Carol Flexer, an expert pediatric audiologist and thought leader, will define and explain the purpose and design of an audiogram. She’ll help you understand where real sounds — like a dog barking or your voice singing a lullaby — fit on the chart as it relates to their frequency (pitch) and intensity (loudness). This will help you understand what your child can hear with and without their devices, based on their specific hearing loss. Dr. Flexer will also define the Speech Banana, speech sounds, the Speech String Bean, the Ling 6-Sound Test, and Suprasegmentals, and explain their importance for your child’s brain development.
