The Lions Children's Hearing& ENT Clinis in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a definitive, multidisciplinary center that offers diagnosis and a full range of treatments to take the next step, using the combined expertise of otolayngologists and audiologists, state-of-the-art equipment and access to te vast resources of the University of Minnesota hospital system.
Professionals at the clinic:
test hearing
fit hearing aids
place cochlear implants and provide follow-up care
perform craniofacial surgery
treat allergies, sinus problems, tinnitus, balance problems and voice issues
Comprehensive
The Minnesota Lions Hearing Foundation voted in 2004 to commit more than $920,000 over five years to establish the Lions Children's Hearing & ENT Clinic. The first clinic was held in early 2006. At the clinic, a family can see up to six specialty doctors in one setting in one day.
Once the child and their family leave the center, our professionals use a team approach to determine what course of treatment will be sought.
Education
The Lions Children's Hearing & ENT Clinic also serves as an educational resource for those who work with hearing-impaired children, and as a research center for pediatric hearing disorders.
General Information
If someone needs a hearing evaluation due to speech delay or autism or any other cognitive issues or say they already have a hearing loss and are getting a second opinion or transferring care, they can call 612-365-6777.
We need an order for every test that we do, so the families need to tell their physician to send an order and they can fax it to 612-365-8301.
If they are newly diagnosed and need the full work up, then they call 612-365-8304 and work with Donna Brezny. She is the coordinator for the appointments that get multiple providers in one day, if possible.
