Hearing loss is a common condition that can change how we experience the world around us. Whether it’s missing the laughter of friends or struggling to follow conversations, early identification can make a huge difference in managing hearing issues. This post is designed to help you recognize the early symptoms of hearing loss, allowing you or your loved ones to take action before it escalates.

Feeling like the room is spinning? Struggling to stay steady on your feet? You're not alone. Vertigo, dizziness, and imbalance are common complaints that can stem from a wide range of conditions—some benign, others more serious. At Unicare Speech & Hearing Clinic, we believe that awareness is the first step toward effective care.

In the journey of supporting neurodivergent children, two pillars stand out as transformative: early intervention and transition planning. These strategies not only shape developmental outcomes but also empower families, educators, and therapists to create meaningful, individualized pathways for each child.

In pediatric assessment and care, distinguishing between sensory processing differences and attention challenges is not just beneficial—it’s essential. Misinterpretation can lead to misdiagnosis, ineffective interventions, and unnecessary stress for families. As practitioners, understanding the nuances of each condition empowers us to offer individualized, compassionate, and effective support.

In the vibrant world of pediatric occupational therapy, practitioners often engage not only with motor skills and sensory integration, but also with the emotional landscapes of children. One vital concept that’s gaining traction is emotional flexibility—the ability to adapt, shift, and respond to emotional challenges with resilience.

For adults navigating hearing loss, hearing aids can be life-changing. But successful outcomes don't rely on flashy brands or gimmicks—they depend on expert audiology care, precise diagnosis, and ongoing rehabilitation. At Unicare Speech & Hearing Clinic, our approach ensures that patients don’t just hear better—they live better.

For adults adapting to hearing aids, the journey to better hearing doesn’t end at amplification—it begins there. While hearing aids restore access to sound, auditory training helps the brain make sense of it.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a complex motor speech disorder that affects a child’s ability to plan and coordinate the movements needed for clear speech. While children with CAS know what they want to say, their brains struggle to send the correct signals to the muscles involved in speaking. This can lead to inconsistent speech, difficulty with longer words, and frustration in communication.

When a child knows exactly what they want to say, but their words just don’t come out as planned—it can be confusing, heartbreaking, and often misunderstood. Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder where the brain struggles to coordinate the movements needed for clear speech

When a child struggles to say what they want to say—even though they know the words—it can be incredibly frustrating for both them and their caregivers. This is often the reality for children with Apraxia of Speech, a motor speech disorder that affects the brain's ability to coordinate the muscle movements needed for speech.

For adults who’ve lived with untreated hearing loss for years, the world of sound can feel strange—even startling—after being fitted with hearing aids. While amplification restores access to external sound, it’s auditory training that helps the brain make sense of it.

Stammering—or stuttering—is a speech fluency disorder that affects the rhythm and flow of speech. While commonly misunderstood, stammering goes beyond the repetition of sounds or prolonged pauses; it can deeply impact a child's emotional world, social identity, and academic experience.

Stammering, also known as stuttering, is more than a speech interruption—it's a deeply personal challenge that can affect confidence,...

For many children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), verbal communication can be a significant hurdle. Some may be nonverbal, while others may have limited or unreliable speech. But communication is more than just spoken words—and that’s where Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) comes in. At Unicare Speech and Hearing Clinic, we believe every child deserves a voice. AAC is one of the most powerful tools we use to help children with autism express themselves, c

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior. While every child with autism is unique, many faces significant challenges in expressing themselves, understanding others, and navigating social situations. This is where Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) play a transformative role.

For many children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), verbal communication can be a significant challenge. Some may speak very little or not at all, while others may struggle with using language in socially appropriate ways. Yet with the right strategies, support, and patience, many children on the spectrum can make meaningful progress in their ability to express themselves verbally.

In a world overflowing with milestones and developmental charts, one question echoes in the hearts of many parents: “Is it too early—or too late—for my child to begin speech therapy?” At Unicare Speech & Hearing Clinic, we've walked beside countless families on this journey, and one truth stands tall—speech therapy isn’t about a perfect age; it’s about the right time.

In the realm of pediatric audiology and special education, we often focus on diagnostics, devices, and developmental milestones. But beneath the surface lies an equally powerful catalyst for growth: social-emotional learning (SEL)—the foundation for emotional resilience, meaningful connections, and lifelong well-being.

Cochlear implantation has revolutionized hearing rehabilitation for individuals with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. But one question often looms large for parents, caregivers, and clinicians: When is the right age to consider a cochlear implant? Let’s explore how age influences candidacy, outcomes, and expectations—and why timing can be everything.
