Qualified as a BASLP (Bachelor of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology), he is an audiologist and speech-language pathologist who diagnoses and manages hearing, speech, language, and communication disorders.

Audiology and Hearing Care Services

Good hearing care starts with a proper evaluation. At the CIDCO clinic, every patient receives a personalised plan instead of a one-size-fits-all device. Hearing services include:

• Free hearing test

• Hearing aid trial and fitting

• Digital and rechargeable hearing aids

• Invisible and Bluetooth hearing aids

• Hearing aid programming and repairs

• Tinnitus evaluation and therapy

• Home visit hearing services

Modern hearing aids come in many styles, including behind-the-ear, receiver-in-canal, in-the-canal, completely-in-canal, and instant-fit models. Dr. Rathod helps you compare these options by considering your degree of hearing loss, lifestyle, budget, and comfort. After fitting, follow-up fine-tuning is important, because a hearing aid works best when it is programmed carefully and adjusted as you get used to hearing sounds again.

Speech Therapy Services

Communication is not only about hearing. The clinic also provides speech-language therapy for all age groups:

• Stammering (stuttering) therapy

• Speech delay management

• Articulation therapy

• Voice therapy

• Language development therapy

• Autism communication therapy

• Pediatric speech therapy

• Adult speech rehabilitation

For parents, early action matters. If a child starts talking late, speaks unclearly, or does not respond to sounds, an early hearing and speech assessment can make a real difference to learning and confidence.

Hearing and Speech Care for Every Age

Children benefit from early hearing screening and pediatric audiology, which help identify problems during the years when speech and language develop fastest. Adults rely on clear hearing for meetings, phone calls, and social life, and timely hearing aids can restore confidence. Senior citizens often experience age-related hearing loss, and treating it early supports independence, safety, and closer connection with loved ones. For those who find travel difficult, home visit services are available.

What to Expect During a Hearing Test

Many people delay a hearing test because they are unsure what to expect. The process is typically simple and painless. It begins with a conversation about your hearing concerns, medical history, and the situations where you struggle most, such as noisy restaurants, phone calls, or television. The audiologist then performs tests that measure how softly you can hear different pitches and how clearly you understand speech. The results are explained in plain language, and you learn whether you need a hearing aid, therapy, regular monitoring, or a medical opinion.

Signs You Should See an Audiologist

Consider booking an appointment if you notice any of these signs:

• You often ask people to repeat themselves

• You turn the television volume higher than others prefer

• Group conversations or noisy places feel exhausting

• You hear people speaking but cannot understand the words

• You experience ringing or buzzing in the ears

• Your child is not speaking clearly for their age or does not respond to sounds

Why Early Treatment Matters

Untreated hearing loss rarely stays a small problem. Studies have associated it with social withdrawal, communication strain, and a higher risk of cognitive decline in older adults. Children with unaddressed hearing difficulties may fall behind in speech, language, and school performance. Getting tested early gives you more options, helps you adapt faster to hearing aids, and protects your relationships and quality of life.
