Abstract
Babies (96) (aged 7-9 mo.) were tested both by conventional screening of hearing procedures and by pure tones. Of these babies, 12 or just over 12% failed the screening test of hearing by conventional procedures (5 of them were subsequently found to suffer from varying degrees of hearing loss) as compared to 29 babies or just over 30% who failed in pure tone testing (including the 5 babies with confirmed hearing losses). Provided conventional procedures are followed carefully their applicability, flexibility and validity are apparently superior to pure tone testing procedures.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
