Where to have a hearing test in Dubbo for children?
When you have your child's hearing tested it is a great idea to get an extra copy of the test and give it your child's teacher. Sharing this information with your child's school can help your child as Public Schools have access to the Otitis Media Hearing Support Teacher and Private Schools have access to the Hear our Heart Hearing Teacher who can guide your child's teacher with classroom strategies to help them with their learning.
If you need help understanding your childs hearing test please contact the Department of Education Hearing Support Team 68 846714. Donna Rees and Rachel Mills can help you.
