Hearing Test for DD aged 5 - GP or HV?

[dora37]

I would like to have DD's hearing tested - she is 5 (sorry 5 and a half!), so do I make an appointment with our GP or Health Visitor?

My youngest daughters hearing problems were picked up first during an annual HV check up when she was very little (at the time 20% hearing loss due to nerve damage in one ear).

Anyway, we've had years of glue ear and grommits etc and her hearing has deteriorated. The very accurate hearing test are done in the hospital by the audiology dept. Your HV will be able to advise you. :)
