Ear and Hearing Center Expertise and Care
National Leaders in Pediatric Hearing Care
For decades, Cincinnati Children’s specialists have helped shape how hearing loss in children is diagnosed and treated. Our team helped develop one of the first genetic tests for hearing loss and continues to lead research that improves care for children around the world.
Advanced Treatments and New Therapies
Children at our center have access to advanced treatment options including cochlear implants, bone conduction implants, and complex ear surgeries such as tympanomastoid procedures. Our experts are also involved in groundbreaking research, including early work in gene therapy for hearing loss.
Team Approach for the Whole Child
Children with hearing loss often need support from several specialists. Our team-based care model brings together audiology, speech-language pathology, genetics, developmental pediatrics and social work. This approach helps families receive coordinated care and one clear plan.
Dedicated Care Coordination for Families
Families work with a nurse coordinator who helps schedule appointments, coordinate services and guide next steps. This support helps families navigate testing, treatment and follow-up care more easily.
Serving Families Across the U.S. and Beyond
Each year, our center cares for about 1,000 children with hearing and balance conditions. Families come from across the Midwest, the U.S. and internationally to access our expertise and advanced treatments.
