| Abstract: | Hearinge valuation of sixtyfour neonates and infants selected randomly from the outpatient departments of E. N. T., Paediatrics and Obstetrics wards was done by behavioral observation audiometry (BOA), tympanometry, acoustic reflex and auditory brainstem evoked response audiometry (ABR) in selected cases. A good correlation was found between BOA and ABR. Tympanometry and acoustic reflex measurements were not found to be useful for evaluating hearing status in infants and neonates. It was finally recommended that BOA should be used for screening hearing in infants and neonates. Cases who fail in BOA should be subjected to ABR for establishing true threshold of hearing. |
