Question 1

Why are pure-tone audiometry and speech audiometry typically not used with very young children or children with some disabilities?

Accepted Answer

These children can't, or might not, understand how to respond to these tests (comprehend instructions, raise hand, etc.). Play audiometry might be used: the examiner teaches the child to do something (like pick up a block)when he or she hears a tone. Another method, evoked-response audiometry, uses EEG to measure changes in brain waves in response to sound and can be used when a child is asleep.
