More information about your child’s hearing test and results can be found in the following resource for parents and families from the National Deaf Children’s Society:

It explains about the ear and how it works, the different types and levels of deafness, the different tests that can check a child’s hearing, and audiograms (a chart on which your child’s hearing test results will be written).

It also has information on the different medical tests or investigations that are used to help diagnose the cause of permanent deafness and a list of questions you might like to ask at your child’s next ENT or audiology appointment.
