Comprehensive Otology and Hearing Program

Children’s Mercy has all the specialists you need in one place and — with an integrated consultation model — at one time.

The evaluation and treatment of hearing loss can be complex and requires comprehensive assessment, team decision making and treatment that is right for individual patients and their families. That’s why Children’s Mercy was the first institution in the United States to offer integrated consultations with multiple specialists: so you can be sure that your child is receiving coordinated and comprehensive care, as efficiently as possible.

Some highlights of our program:

• Timely care: We’ve reduced wait times since launching our integrated hearing loss consults.
• Virtual visits: Telehealth options make it easier to connect with our clinic from wherever you are.
• Personalized recommendations: Each year, our clinic diagnoses hundreds of new patients with bilateral sensorineural or mixed hearing loss — but every one is unique! Our multidisciplinary team conducts a comprehensive review and crafts an individualized plan for each one-of-a-kind patient.
• Surgical expertise: Children’s Mercy has the region’s top pediatric fellowship-trained ENT surgeons, experienced in hearing loss surgeries, including tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy, cochlear implants and ossicular reconstruction.
