Examination of hearing in infants and children (Otoacoustic emissions and Play Audiometry) |
Normal result confirms normal function of the organ of hearing. If the result is abnormal, the test is repeated in one month’s time to confirm abnormal recording, and then middle ear function is tested with tympanometry
Older children, who can co-operate to play with the examiner, but are too young to have a proper audiogram, can be tested with some variant of play-audiometry. In the simplest form of it, the child is asked to do a move in play, when he/she hears a sound (see image). |
