The Hearing and Speech Clinic at Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics provides extraordinary care for diagnostics, early intervention, collaboration, short-term treatment, teaching and research. We are dedicated to giving exceptional care through the latest evidence-based practices and procedures, supported by state-of-the-art technology. Parents and guardians are encouraged to observe the treatment process. 

Hearing and Speech Staff

We have a world-class staff and all audiologists and speech-language pathologists have a master's degree, a doctorate or a Ph.D. in their respective fields. They hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) in audiology or speech-language pathology, which is granted by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). Each of them is licensed to practice in Kansas, Missouri or both states.

The clinic also has graduate students, medical students and residents who observe evaluations and therapies. We are recognized leaders in educating physicians and other health care workers on hearing loss and communication disorders.
