Private hearing test

[nora78]

Hi there - does anyone have any recommendation on where to get a private hearing test for a toddler in Surrey/Middlesex/London.

My ds (22 months) has been referred by the GP for a hearing test (he's not talking or pointing yet and doesn't always seem to hear me - he failed the biscuit test!) but she mentioned it could be a long wait and I thought I would look into the alternatives - it's not something I fancy waiting for if I don't have to!

I've found it relatively easy to find private speech therapists in case we need that but googling 'private hearing test' hasn't given me much to go on!

Couldn't you ask your GP for a recommendation to someone? They will probably know who the best local specialist is.

I thought that all babies had a hearing test soon after birth. The Portland Hospital certainly does them because my baby had one a few days after he was born there.
You could try Nuffield Guildford if that is closer.
