Why It Matters
Hearing and speech problems affect every age group
Early diagnosis is the single most impactful step. The sooner a condition is identified, the better the long-term outcome — for children developing language and adults preserving quality of life.
01
Hearing Loss
From mild to profound — diagnosed and treated with digital hearing aids, therapy, or surgical referral depending on severity.
02
Speech Delay in Children
Structured therapy unlocks language development at the right stage — most effective when started before age 5.
03
Stammering & Stuttering
Evidence-based fluency techniques and breathing exercises significantly reduce stammering across all age groups.
04
Voice Disorders
Specialist voice therapy for hoarseness, pitch problems, vocal fatigue, and nodule-related issues.
05
Tinnitus & Ear Infections
Specialist care to manage chronic ringing and treat recurring middle ear infections effectively.
06
Language Development Delay
Targeted programmes to build comprehension, vocabulary, and expressive language in children and adults.

Hearing tests and speech therapy explained
Both procedures are painless and non-invasive. Understanding what happens helps you arrive prepared and get the most from your appointment.
Hearing Evaluation
Diagnostic Procedures
Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) — measures the softest sounds you can hear at different frequencies. Painless, 20–30 min.
Tympanometry — checks middle ear pressure and eardrum mobility to detect fluid or perforations.
Speech Audiometry — evaluates how clearly you understand spoken words at different volume levels.
OAE / BERA — objective tests for newborns, infants, or cases requiring no active participation.
Speech Therapy
Communication Support
Speech Delay Correction — structured milestone-based programmes for children from 18 months upward.
Stammering Treatment — fluency shaping and stuttering modification techniques for lasting improvement.
Pronunciation & Articulation — targeted coaching to improve clarity and confidence in everyday speech.
Voice Therapy — range, projection, and vocal health programmes for professionals and post-surgical cases.
Autism Communication Support — AAC (augmentative communication) and social communication strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about hearing & speech care
Answers to the most common questions patients ask before their first visit.
Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is a painless hearing test that measures the softest sounds you can detect at different frequencies (pitches). You wear headphones in a quiet room and press a button each time you hear a tone. The test takes 20–30 minutes and results are plotted on an audiogram showing your hearing range.
Speech therapy can begin as early as 18–24 months if a delay is noticed. Early intervention — ideally before age 5 — produces the best outcomes because the brain is still in its most adaptable developmental phase. We offer developmental assessments for toddlers and structured therapy programmes for school-age children.
A basic Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) test typically costs between NPR 500 and NPR 1,500. More advanced tests like BERA or OAE may range from NPR 2,000 to NPR 5,000 depending on the level of assessment required. Hearing aid fitting consultations are often available at no extra charge when purchasing a device through our clinic.
Stammering cannot always be fully eliminated, but with consistent speech therapy it can be significantly reduced in most people. Techniques such as fluency shaping, stuttering modification, and diaphragmatic breathing exercises help build fluency and communication confidence — often to a point where stammering becomes barely noticeable in daily conversations.
Yes. We offer OAE (Otoacoustic Emissions) and BERA (Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry) tests for newborns and infants. These are objective, painless tests that require no active participation from the child and can reliably detect hearing issues at any age — including in sleeping babies.
