About this event

Health • Medical

Hearing screenings are vital in identifying hearing loss in children and preventing problems with communication, learning and development. Middle-ear fluid build up commonly occur in young children as a result of cold, ear infections and nasal congestion due to their narrow and flat auditory structures.

The hearing screening program at ESF Abacus will be conducted during Friday, November 28th 2025 at school, using Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE), an easy and automatic test that can can be found in hospitals that allow insight on your child's inner ear and hair cell health.

The last day of registration is Thursday, November 20th 2025.

Frequently asked questions

What are Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs)?

OAEs are sounds generated from the inner ear (cochlea) in response to an external sound. They can be detected with machines as a marker for inner ear health and an easy way to objectively screen for hearing loss.

What should I expect from the hearing screening?

We try make it fun! Most children are able to complete testing in 5 minutes. Results are indicated as pass/fail. If there is a need for a follow-up, this will be indicated in the report. Reports will be given back to the school for distribution on the same day.

What if my child is unwell on the day of testing and cannot attend?

Don't worry! We will work with the school to see if we can come for another visit. In case this cannot be arranged, your child can complete his/her testing at our clinic by a set date. We recommend waiting a minimum of 2 weeks after symptoms have passed before testing.

What happens if my child fails the screening?

We recommend to do a follow-up at clinic to understand what is impacting your child's hearing. There are circumstances that may lead to failed results that can be medically reversed or managed. In case your child would like assistance from ENT Centre, we are conveniently located in Central.

Will I receive a confirmation after I register?

A confirmation email from the Eventbrite system will be sent to the registered email account after registration is successfully complete. If you would like a clinic issued receipt for insurance purposes, kindly please select this option during the registration process.
