Professionals known as speech-language pathologists are commonly referred to as speech therapists. These individuals undergo specialized training that equips them to identify communication issues and determine the most effective intervention strategies. In Delhi NCR, Suniye's speech therapists work individually with each child, providing personalized assistance to help them overcome communication challenges. Individuals, whether children or adults, facing issues such as dyslexia, hearing problems, cleft lip, autism, motor coordination difficulties, traumatic brain injury, and so on, can seek support from Suniye's highly skilled speech therapists in Delhi.

Gradual hearing loss, known as presbycusis, occurs over time due to prolonged exposure to loud noises or excessive earwax, often associated with the aging process. In many cases, hearing loss is irreversible. Audiologists utilize audiometry, a straightforward and non-invasive procedure, to identify hearing loss in both adults and children. Suniye's audiologists conduct audiometry tests that assess speech discrimination ability, the mechanical audio transmission (function of the middle ear), and neural audio transmission (function of the cochlea) to assist students in understanding their hearing capabilities.
