We are thrilled to share that The Hearing House has recently acquired new Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials (CAEP) equipment—thanks to the generous support of Grace McKean, a valued client of The Hearing House. Grace’s contribution has made it possible for us to bring in this advanced technology, which plays a vital role in assessing how effectively sound is reaching and being processed by the brain, especially in infants and young children with hearing devices.   To suppo
