Specialist Care for Children With Hearing, Dizziness and Balance Problems
Hearing and Balance Disorders in Children
Audiovestibular Medicine is a specialist medical field concerned with the investigation and treatment of hearing, balance, tinnitus and dizziness in both adult and paediatric patients. Children's hearing and balance conditions are often harder to identify than in adults. Symptoms may be intermittent, difficult to articulate, or easy to attribute to development, behaviour or other concerns before the underlying cause is properly evaluated.
Our specialists have trained at world-renowned institutions, including Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital. This clinical background gives us the depth to assess children across a full range of presentations, from those with a clear diagnosis to those whose symptoms have remained unexplained following previous assessments.

When Children Need Specialist
Audiovestibular Assessment
Signs That Warrant a Specialist Referral
Specialist assessment is appropriate when a child's hearing or balance symptoms are persistent, recurrent or unexplained, or when they are affecting school performance, communication, confidence or daily life.
It is also important where previous assessments have not fully resolved the child's difficulties, or where there is concern about the inner ear, hearing pathways or vestibular system. Sudden hearing loss, one-sided symptoms, recurrent episodes of dizziness, or a history of falls and unsteadiness should all be assessed without delay.
How We Assess and Manage Children at Harley AVM
Assessment begins with a thorough clinical history, exploring the child's symptoms, developmental background, triggers and functional impact alongside a review of any previous investigations. Testing is then selected based on the clinical picture and may include advanced audiological and vestibular assessment appropriate to the child's age.
Findings are interpreted within a medical framework to confirm diagnoses, exclude serious causes and guide management decisions. We coordinate care across disciplines where needed, ensuring every family leaves with clear answers and a structured plan.
