Children’s Hearing Assessments

Assessing the hearing and ear health of babies, toddlers and children is often the first and one of the most important steps in navigating and understanding their health and development.

  • Your  child may  not be yet talking or may be difficult to understand,
  • You may be unsure about their developmental milestones or behaviours,
  • Perhaps  they did not pass their school Hearing screen,
  • Or having difficulties with literacy or attention in class,
  • Or possibly experiencing  ear infections or other Ear, Nose throat issues.

Meet Michelle Soares Mendes

All assessments are undertaken by Michelle Soares Mendes, paediatric Audiologist of 30 years, specialising in children with developmental delay and disability.

Michelle treats every little person and older teenager as a unique character. She engages and interacts with them in a fun and respectful way to obtain accurate information about their hearing and ear health.

Michelle then provides the carers with clear and helpful information about their child’s situation, gives comprehensive recommendations, will connect with other professionals and refer to them if needed, as well as providing  a detailed report.

My son was experiencing a few different health issues and when we ultimately saw Michelle at Dunsborough and Margaret River Hearing, he was diagnosed with a conductive hearing loss and glue ear. Fortunately surgery was able to rectify the problem. Michelle interacted beautifully with my son, explained things to me very clearly and resolved our issues.

I have worked with Michelle for many years. As a speech pathologist specialising in neurodevelopmental assessment I refer to Michelle and highly recommended her for all paediatric Audiological services. Michelle has specialised in this area since the beginning of her career and has the skills and equipment to empathetically and effectively engage children in hearing assessment, including toddlers and children with developmental delays, sensory issues and non speaking children. Michelle is exceptionally thorough, thoughtful and technically competent. She keeps up with all the latest research and technology. If your child or client needs the best audiological evaluation, southwest hearing is the ideal service.

I have been experiencing increasingly problematic tinnitus over the last few years. I had previously been fitted with hearing aids for my hearing loss related to my carpentry background. I saw Michelle for a tinnitus consultation and she has able to provide guidance on how to utilise strategies to help reduce the tinnitus. Michelle explained things in very clear terms. I feel like I now have good control over my situation.
