Pediatric Hearing Aids
Hearing Aids Built for Kids' Ears and Routines
Pediatric hearing aids in Burbank, CA need to do more than amplify sound — they need to survive recess, fit growing ears, and travel through every speech-and-language milestone with your child. Dr. Beverly Lew, Au.D. has fit pediatric devices since founding the practice in 1991, working with infants referred from newborn screenings, toddlers, school-age kids, and teens. We start with the right device for your child's hearing loss, fit it for comfort, and re-mold as quickly as their ears grow.
Why BTE Hearing Aids Are the Pediatric Standard
BTE hearing aids for children sit safely behind the ear with a soft custom mold inside the canal — durable enough to handle recess, easy for parents to insert, and quick to re-mold as your child grows. They also pair with FM system hearing aids and classroom remote microphones, sending the teacher's voice directly to your child's aids without 25 classmates worth of noise in the way. Dr. Lew programs each pair for your child's audiogram and adjusts as they develop.
60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on Every Pair
Every prescription hearing aid fitted at Sound Advice is backed by a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Wear them at work, at restaurants, in the studio, and at home — if they aren't the right fit after 60 days, bring them back and we'll exchange them for a different model. Real life is the only test that counts.

Pediatric Hearing Aid FAQs
Common questions about pediatric hearing aids in Burbank, CA — fitting ages, BTE style choice, FM classroom systems, and custom mold replacements at Sound Advice.
As early as the first few weeks of life. Once a child's hearing loss is confirmed — usually through ABR or OAE testing after a failed newborn screening — pediatric audiologists fit hearing aids almost immediately to protect speech and language development. Infant hearing aids are nearly always BTE devices with soft, frequently re-made ear molds. Dr. Lew has been fitting kids in the Burbank and L.A. area since 1991, and she coordinates closely with pediatricians, ENTs, and early-intervention teams so you're never managing the diagnosis alone. The earlier we fit, the more your child's brain can build a normal listening foundation.
Three big reasons. First, kids' hearing aids in Burbank have to keep up with growth — only the BTE design lets us remake just the ear mold while keeping the same device. Second, BTE aids are tough, parent-friendly, and easy to clean after a long day at school or the playground. Third, BTE devices pair with the widest range of pediatric accessories — FM systems, remote microphones, streaming receivers — that help children hear in classrooms, gyms, and group settings. Older teens with stable ear anatomy can sometimes move to other kids hearing aid styles, but BTE is the safe, capable default through childhood.
Yes. We fit classroom hearing aid accessories alongside your child's primary devices — typically a teacher-worn remote microphone or full FM system that streams the teacher's voice directly to your child's hearing aids over a noisy room. We can also provide written audiology reports, recommendations for IEP or 504 plans, and guidance for the audiology team at your child's school district. If your child is being evaluated for accommodations or already has a plan in place, bring the paperwork to your appointment and we'll align the device programming and accessories with what's already on file.
Frequently in the early years. Child hearing aid fitting for infants and toddlers often means new ear-mold impressions every few months — sometimes as often as every six to eight weeks during the fastest growth spurts. By preschool age, most kids stretch to twice a year, and by middle school once a year is usually enough. Outgrown or whistling molds are the most common sign it's time to remake. The hearing aid itself stays the same — we only update the mold, which is typically covered through the dispensing relationship. Call 818-841-0066 any time you suspect a mold is no longer sealing.
