NHS - Paediatric Audiovestibular Medicine Service (Hearing)
The paediatric audiology service provides specialist care in identifying and managing children with a hearing impairment in Central and South Manchester.
Our Aim
The team’s aims are:
- to provide a high-quality and friendly service to children and their families who use our service
- to work collaboratively with other professionals such as community paediatricians, speech and language therapists, health visiting and school health teams as well as ear nose and throat and Manchester sensory teams.
The community paediatric audiology department has a well-established clinical team including one medical consultant in paediatric audiovestibular medicine, clinical scientists and paediatric audiologists working to provide an excellent service.

The service is available to anyone who has concerns with a child’s hearing or development or is known to have a hearing impairment. We assess and provide support for children of all developmental ages from birth to 18 years of age.
