Every child deserves to
‍ hear the world clearly.

Tuned believes that every child deserves the best possible hearing care. With our innovative pediatrics program, we bring comprehensive, accessible, and affordable hearing care navigation directly to families. Leveraging Telehealth, we ensure children aged 4–17—and soon, even younger—have access to top-tier pediatric audiologists from the comfort of their homes.

Why pediatric hearing care matters

Hearing health is crucial for children’s development. Hearing loss, especially if undiagnosed, can lead to significant challenges in communication, learning, social interaction, and overall quality of life. The statistics are alarming:

• Nearly 12.5% of U.S. children aged 6-19 show signs of noise-induced hearing loss due to unsafe listening practices.

• An estimated 1 billion young adults worldwide are at risk of permanent, avoidable hearing loss due to unsafe listening habits.

The impact of hearing loss on children

Hearing loss in children, if not addressed early, can have devastating consequences:

Educational Challenges

Hearing loss can lead to difficulties in speech, language development, and academic performance. Children with undiagnosed hearing issues are often mislabeled as having behavioral problems or learning disabilities.

social and emotional impact

Children with hearing loss may experience social isolation, frustration, and lower self-esteem due to communication barriers.

Long-Term Effects

If untreated, hearing loss can result in limited educational and vocational attainment, reducing future employment opportunities and overall life satisfaction.
