Let’s Play Audiologist! How We’re Getting Our Deaf Baby More Comfortable with Doctor’s Visits

Young children love pretending to be the adults in their lives, and playing “audiologist” is no exception.

Luckily, classic “doctor” toy sets can be easily reimagined as specialized “audiology” sets! (Extra perfect with dolls and stuffed animals who use hearing devices!)

For example, in this cute, gender-neutral set from Green Toys®:

This comes with an otoscope (the tool for looking in the doll’s ears), plus:

• For the thermometer, we can see the device the audiologist uses to push the cotton blocker into the doll’s ear.
• For the needle, we can see the syringe the audiologist uses to fill the doll’s ear with foam.
• For the stethoscope, we can see a sound booth testing device.

What do you and your little one see?
