Description

Testing the hearing of infants and young children is often challenging since they cannot tell us what they hear in the way that older children and adults do.

This study evaluates new methods of hearing evaluation in infants and young children that do not require a behavioral response.

They will listen to sounds through earphones while resting comfortably or sitting and watching a video. In another test, they will respond to the sounds they hear.

We will tell you what we learn about your child’s hearing. We will tell you what help your child might need and help you find it.
