Starting with hearing test, diagnostics, hearing aids, to speech therapy and cochlear implant services, the clinic provides all speech and hearing services under one roof conducted by only professional audiologists.

At Shravya, audiology tests such as ABR/BERA (brainstem evoked response audiometry), OAE (Otoacoustic emission), BOA (behavioral observation audiometry) and Immitence Audiometry are done to determine the type and degree of hearing loss suspected in children below five years. Further, tests like Pure-tone audiometry and Immitence audiometry are performed for adults

to detect the hearing impairment. These tests aim to determine the type and degree of hearing impairment. Post the detailed diagnosis, the audiologists at Shravya recommend options of hearing aid or Cochlear Implant surgery or appropriate medical referrals based on the intensity of the loss, test reports from audiogram and their professional experience. This is what has made it stand apart among other hearing care clinics in Hyderabad & Secundarabad. “We give patient ample time to become comfortable with the aids and post surgery, which makes it easier on their part to adjust with the change,” asserts Dr. Shiva Prasad Boddupally, Chief Audiologist, Shravya Speech and Hearing Center.

Dr. Shiva recommended cochlear implant surgery after hearing aid trail. We underwent cochlear implant surgery at the age of 18 months and attended regular speech therapy. When he was in class 2, he again faced issues with the noise in the environment. Dr. Shiva checked the classroom and advised for the Cochlear Implant surgery for opposite ear, after implantation he is alike any other normal kid. Thanks to Shravya Clinic,” says a happy client.
