About Little Ears
Pediatric Audiologists believe:
“A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.”
Forest E. Witcraft teacher, scholar

Our Approach
Little Ears in Victoria BC adopts a child-centered approach to our pediatric audiology service with children's hearing tests available from 8 months and older, tailored to each child's unique needs and objectives. Collaborating with patients and their families, the pediatric audiologist develops customized assessment and treatment plans. We adhere to both national and international clinical standards and protocols. Our facility includes a child-friendly waiting area appropriate for most children. We gladly schedule appointments to accommodate the needs of both the child and parents, ensuring individual attention by booking only one child at a time. Our children's audiologist clinic has a child specific waiting room with consideration given to creating a fun safe environment, accommodating busy parents and busy kids.
Acknowledgement
I acknowledge with respect that as a pediatric audiologist I work, teach, and reside on the traditional territories of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. Victoria, the city, stands as the second oldest in Western Canada, having been incorporated on August 2, 1862. This land has long served as the home of the Lekwungen People, a part of the Coast Salish, known today as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations. The Lekwungen language, indigenous to Victoria, along with the traditional culture, have thrived here for millennia, marked by careful stewardship of the land, including practices such as controlled burnings and the cultivation of food.
