Service Details
Description:

PLEASE CHOOSE AN APPOINTMENT DATE WHERE BABY WILL BE LESS THAN 1 MONTH OLD



Our goal is to identify permanent hearing loss as early as possible. We aim to screen babies under 1 month of age. This service is available to permanent residents of Ontario until the age of 2 months old (corrected age).



If you need help booking this appointment (e.g. if you would like the help of an interpreter, if you'd prefer a different clinic location or if baby does not have an OHIP number), call us at 613-688-3979, extension 3453.



VEUILLEZ CHOISIR UNE DATE DE RENDEZ-VOUS OU LE BÉBÉ SERA MOINS DE 1 MOIS



Nous visons à identifier la perte auditive permanente le plus tôt possible. Notre objectif est de dépister les bébés avant l’âge d’un (1) mois. Ces services sont offerts aux résidents permanents de l’Ontario jusqu’à l’âge de 2 mois (âge corrigé).



Si vous avez besoin d’aide pour réserver ce rendez-vous (p.ex. si vous souhaitez l’aide d’un interprète, si vous préférez un autre emplacement ou si le bébé n’a pas de numéro de carte santé OHIP), appelez-nous au 613-688-3979, poste 3453.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria:
  • Will this be baby's first hearing screening appointment?
  • Are you a permanent resident of Ontario?
  • We do our best to screen babies before they turn 4 weeks old. Babies are only eligible for screening up until 8 weeks of age. Occasionally, more than one appointment is needed to complete testing. A first visit before 4 weeks old gives us time to complete all testing before they age-out. Older babies are also less likely to sleep through this test (and a sleeping baby is key to complete screening). If your baby will be older than 4 weeks on the appointment date you have chosen, please use the “Back” button below and choose an earlier appointment date. If there are no spots available before your baby turns 4 weeks old, please use the “Back” button below and choose the soonest available appointment date before continuing with this booking.

    Will your baby be less than 4 weeks old on the date you have chosen for this appointment?
