An adjunct test of audiometry is acoustic immitance testing which assesses the facility with which sound can travel from the external ear to the cochlea inside the ear.
As the child gets older, condition play audiometry (CPA) is useful.
As the child gets older, more extensive audiometry testing can be performed.
Audiometry can establish the extent as well as the type of a hearing loss.
Audiometry encompasses those procedures used to measure hearing thresholds.
Audiometry is a safe procedure to which there are rarely contraindications.
Audiometry should be performed on all infants and children since unidentified hearing loss can delay speech and language skills.
Bone conduction audiometry determines the extent to which there is neurosensory hearing loss.
Both air conduction and bone conduction of sounds are evaluated by audiometry.
For the young infant under four months of age, audiologists employ behavioral observation audiometry (BOA).
Otherwise there are no risks associated with audiometry.
Pure tone threshold audiometry to evaluate hearing in children who are able to co-operate.
Some electrophysiological tests are the auditory brainstem response (ABR) test, auditory steady-state response (ASSR) testing, electroencephalic audiometry (EEG) test, and otoacoustic emission testing (OAE).
The audiometry available as of 2004 can determine the type and extent of a hearing loss as well as identify the location of the hearing problem.
The EEG or electroencephalic audiometry test measures tone loss but cannot locate the site of a hearing loss.
The primary purpose of audiometry is to determine the frequency and intensity at which sounds can be heard.
The purpose of audiometry is to establish an individual's range of hearing.
This is an important part of audiometry, since much of a child's learning depends on the ability to discriminate speech.
When the child is capable of understanding and responding to words, speech discrimination is also assessed as part of audiometry.
