A Two-Interval, Forced-Choice, Observer-Based Procedure for Evaluating Hearing Sensitivity in Children With Motor and Developmental Impairments

What is it about?

Children with hearing loss often have additional disabilities, but traditional hearing testing is not always possible for children with significant motor and developmental impairments. This is a problem because early identification and ongoing management of hearing loss is important for language and learning. We show that a two-interval observer-based test procedure offers promise for children who have difficulty performing behavioral hearing testing currently in use clinically.
