Pediatric Services:

  • Visual Reinforcement Audiometry: The sound booth is equipped with VRA to reward head turns elicited in response to auditory stimuli. Ear specific thresholds, word discrimination, and aided sound field responses can be quantified.

  • Conditioned Play Audiometry: CPA strategies vary, based on the developmental level of the child: the method involves conditioning the child to respond using toys and activities selected to hold attention long enough to obtain reliable ear specific tone and speech audiometry responses.

  • Tympanometry: Middle ear status and broad-band acoustic reflex stimuli are available to measure PE tube patency, middle ear status, hearing level screening. Both 1000Hz and 226Hz tones are available for measurements on infants and children.

  • Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions Testing: Used in follow-up testing for infants who fail the newborn hearing screening prior to discharge from the hospital, these tests capitalize on the discovery that a normal cochlea will generate a sound in response to a specifically shaped stimulus that is frequency specific.
