Saturday, October 10 · 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM

We hold a handful of free screening times each month at our Queen Creek office. Each visit is about 15 minutes, and we see one family at a time, so it stays calm and quiet for your baby. Choose an open time and you’ll get a confirmation right away, plus a reminder before your visit.

One important thing 💤

Please come with baby fed and sleepy.

A full, drowsy baby helps the screening go smoothly and gives us the clearest reading.

What to expect

Gentle, quick, and non-invasive

Newborn hearing screening is a simple, non-invasive check using an OAE-style screening. A soft earpiece rests gently in your baby's ear and listens for the tiny responses a healthy ear naturally produces. There are no needles and nothing uncomfortable.

The whole thing takes just a few minutes and is often done while baby is sleeping or content, so it fits easily into a calm moment together.

Why it matters

Early awareness, early support

Checking hearing early can help families and providers notice when a little one might benefit from a closer look. Early detection opens the door to early support, which many families find reassuring as they get to know their new baby.

A screening is a first step, not a diagnosis. If anything comes up, we'll help you understand next steps and where to turn.
