# Speech therapists, Hearing Center for children at the Surgical Hospital Keywords: - [speech therapy](< /en/search?q=speech therapy >) - [Surgical Hospital](< /en/search?q=Surgical Hospital >) - [Hearing Center](< /en/search?q=Hearing Center >) In speech therapy for children at the Surgical Hospital’s Hearing Center for children, we examine and assess the speech and language development of hearing-impaired children. A speech therapist’s assessment requires a referral from a physician. We serve children and adolescents under the age of 18 using hearing aids and cochlear implants. Based on the examinations, we assess the need for individual speech therapy rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is most commonly carried out outside the hospital as demanding medical rehabilitation compensated by Kela. ## [ Maisa Portal (opens in new window, links to another website) ](https://www.maisa.fi/maisa/Authentication/Login?lang=britishenglish) MAISA.FI You can use our online services by signing in to the Maisa Portal.
