Audiology

We have two audiologists at our Flagstaff clinic who provide hearing and
balance services for ages newborn through 21. The Audiology department
also conducts newborn hearing screenings before all infants leave the
hospital. Your child's hearing can be accurately tested at any age by an
audiologist. Services provided include hearing screenings, hearing aids
and repair, and dizziness testing. Children may be eligible to be seen in
this clinic through CRS or privately by referral from their primary care
practitioner.

Genetics is a CHC/CRS clinic, which is staffed by geneticists from Tucson, all of whom are associated with the University of
Arizona. A child gets referred to this clinic when there is an unusual
or unknown disorder that the referring physician thinks may be genetic
in origin. Genetics may be helpful in determining the likelihood of
having future children with specific disorders. Children may be eligible
