A safe and calm environment
Our Audiology Suite is based in The Moulding Foundation building, which is purpose built to be a calm, safe environment for young people with complex needs. There is direct access from the outside of the building into the suite, preventing any need to travel through the building, or sit in waiting areas. The suite was specifically designed with visual and sensory features to ensure the room is both welcoming and functional for assessing hearing based on the needs of the individual.

The audiology suite at Seashell isn’t like other suites I have been in...it felt really warm and welcoming. There was lots of resources and equipment to help promote relaxation
