Audiology, Hearing & Speech Therapy
We provide thorough diagnostic, therapeutic, and rehabilitative care for hearing, speech, language, and communication disorders across all age groups. Our audiologists and speech language pathologists use advanced assessment tools and evidence-based therapy techniques to improve hearing, speech clarity, language skills, and overall communication ability.

About Our Audiology & Speech Language-Pathology Department
Hearing well and speaking clearly shape every relationship — at work, at home, in school. When either starts to fade, the right help can transform daily life. The Audiology & Speech Language Pathology Department at THANC Hospital in Kilpauk, Chennai supports children and adults with hearing loss across all ages, newborn hearing screening, hearing aid evaluation and fitting (we stay neutral on brand and focus on the right device for your ear and lifestyle), tinnitus management, child speech and language delays, articulation and stuttering problems, voice misuse and vocal strain in teachers and singers, post-stroke speech and language recovery (aphasia), and swallowing assessment for patients recovering from stroke or head and neck cancer treatment. Whether you're a parent worried your toddler isn't talking, an adult who keeps asking people to repeat themselves, or a family member helping a loved one recover after stroke — there's a structured path forward here.
Our testing is comprehensive and child-friendly: pure tone audiometry, tympanometry, BERA and OAE for newborns and small children (objective tests when behavioural testing isn't reliable), play audiometry, and full speech-language evaluation. Hearing aid fitting includes trial in our demonstration room before purchase — modern devices including rechargeable and Bluetooth-enabled options — with proper mapping and follow-up. Speech therapy is structured, goal-oriented, and tailored: most patients see measurable improvement within a few weeks of consistent sessions. We see all ages, from newborn screening to elderly hearing rehabilitation, working closely with our ENT, otology, and rehabilitation teams. Please consult our team if a child isn't responding to sound or hasn't started speaking on time, you struggle to follow conversation in noisy places, you've had ringing in your ears that affects sleep, or someone in your family is recovering speech after stroke. Located in central Chennai with easy access from across Tamil Nadu, we offer dependable, transparent, and affordable hearing and speech care — all under one roof.
When to Consult Our Audiology & Speech Language Pathology Team
Early evaluation leads to better outcomes. Speak to our team if you notice any of these:
Difficulty understanding speech in noisy settings
Trouble following conversation in restaurants or meetings is often the earliest sign of hearing loss.
A child not responding to sound or delayed speech
Early hearing and speech assessment in children is critical — intervention before age 3 dramatically improves outcomes.
Speech unclear after a stroke or brain injury
Speech and language therapy after stroke supports meaningful communication recovery.
Stammering or fluency problems
Structured speech therapy helps children and adults manage stammering with measurable gains.
Tinnitus affecting sleep or concentration
Persistent tinnitus benefits from structured audiological assessment and targeted therapy.
Hearing aid fitting or upgrade
Modern hearing aids — including rechargeable and Bluetooth options — transform quality of life when fitted and mapped properly.
