Fortis Escorts Hospital

This specific unit for Audiometry & Speech Therapy is tucked away in Opd No.1 R.No.5047 on Jln Marg Malviya Malviya. It’s a bit of a trek to find Fortis Escorts Hospital if you haven't been here before, as you have to navigate through the main hospital corridors and up to the right floor. Because we deal with hearing and speech, our corner of the hospital is a lot quieter than the rest of the building. We have special rooms that are meant to keep out the noise of the traffic and the busy hallways outside. It’s a different pace here. We spend a lot of time sitting with patients, one on one, using the testing equipment. The machines are a bit old-fashioned looking but they still do the job just fine. Sometimes the scheduling gets backed up and people have to wait a bit longer in the hallway, which isn't ideal but we do our best. The room itself is pretty small, mostly taken up by the desk and the testing booth. We keep a few toys in the corner for the kids who come in, although they usually prefer playing with the buttons on the machines. It’s a very specific kind of work we do in Room 5047. We don't see the big emergencies that the rest of the hospital sees, but we stay busy with our own steady flow of people looking for answers about their hearing.
