Hearing and Vision Screening Program

The Grand Traverse County Health Department (GTCHD) offers free hearing and vision screening services to children throughout the county through our Hearing and Vision Screening Program. The ability to both hear and see well is important for children to fully engage in educational activities, communicate effectively, and reach their potential. Early detection can greatly enhance a child's journey. 

Screening Guidelines: 

Routine screenings are provided in area schools and at the GTCHD based on the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services guidelines below. Children who fall outside of these guidelines may still receive screenings based on parent requests, school requests, or follow-up requirements.
