This review outlines standards for infant audiology, detailing essential tests like auditory brainstem response (ABR) and otoacoustic emissions for accurate hearing assessment in newborns and young children.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Pediatric audiology
  • Hearing science

Background:

  • Infant hearing screening is crucial for early detection of hearing loss.
  • Standard audiologic assessments require modifications for infants and toddlers.
  • Accurate diagnosis is vital for timely intervention and development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present current standards for audiologic assessment in infants and young children.
  • To emphasize the importance of a tailored test battery for this age group.
  • To provide information on appropriate diagnostic and rehabilitative procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing frequency-specific threshold tests (air and bone conduction).
  • Employing electrophysiologic measures like Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) and Auditory Steady State Response (ASSR).

  • Conducting immittance measures, including tympanometry and acoustic reflexes with high-frequency probe tones.

    • Main Results:

    • ABR accurately predicts hearing levels in newborns using frequency-specific stimuli.
    • Immittance measures and otoacoustic emissions are key components of the test battery.
    • Newer techniques like ASSR show promise but require further validation.
    • Infants with hearing loss can be fitted with amplification using prescriptive formulas like Desired Sensation Level (DSL).

    Conclusions:

    • Audiologists can provide comprehensive audiologic data for infants failing newborn screenings.
    • Early identification and fitting of amplification are possible in the newborn period.
    • Audiologic procedures must be specifically adapted for the unique needs of infants and toddlers.
