Greater Vancouver Hearing Tests for Children
If you’ve noticed your child not responding to sounds, struggling to follow conversations, or something just doesn’t feel right, it’s worth taking a closer look.
At Sonaris Ear Center, we offer hearing assessments for children in Vancouver, Burnaby, and Surrey. Our approach is calm, gentle, and adapted to your child’s age so they feel comfortable while we understand how they’re hearing and processing sound.
When to consider a hearing test for your child:
You may want to book an assessment if your child is:
- Not responding consistently to their name or sounds
- Delayed in speech or language development
- Frequently asking for repetition or saying “what?”
- Struggling to follow instructions
- Sensitive to sound or easily overwhelmed in noisy environments
Sometimes these signs are subtle. A hearing test helps clarify what’s going on so you can move forward with confidence.
What to expect:
We tailor each assessment to your child’s age and comfort level.
Depending on their stage, testing may involve:
- listening games and play-based responses
- simple sound detection
- speech understanding tasks
Our goal is to make the experience feel relaxed while gathering clear, reliable information about how your child hears.
Why early assessment matters
Hearing plays a key role in speech, learning, and social development.
When something is off, even slightly, it can affect how your child:
- communicates
- learns in the classroom
- engages with others
Early assessment gives you clarity and allows you to take the right next step, whether that’s reassurance or additional support.
Referred to Sonaris Hearing Center Surrey by ENT Doctor Mori. An excellent experience with audiologist Fred Manta. With Fred’s expertise, selected hearing aids and some specialised equipment, I am able to hear much of what I lost over the years through industrial noise exposure. Anticipating multiple appointments, I was hesitant to make the drive as there were hearing centres much closer to home. It quickly became evident however that it would be worth every mile. Office manager Ravjir and office admin., Hanna were very thoughtful in finding appointments that were off peak traffic times and fitting me in when there was a snag. All in all my wife Linda and I appreciate Sonaris very much and we’ll happily drive the distance to continue with them as my ongoing hearing management requires. Thank you Fred, Ravjir and Hanna.
I simply cannot say enough about Fred Matta . He is clearly one of the most personable, professional and knowledgeable specialists that I have ever met in the medical field. He spent an exceptional amount of time assisting me to make the best decision regarding my hearing aids. He also allowed lots of trial time for me to demo two different models. There was never any pressure to make the final purchase. I would also like to thank his receptionist/assistant, Jas. She completes the picture that allows for a friendly, comfortable office visit.
Do not hesitate to contact Sonaris as you will be most impressed!!
