Abstract
The efficiency of the Verbal Auditory Screening for Children (VASC) compared to a pure-tone threshold test as a technique to identify hearing impairment among preschool children was investigated with 162 subjects. The VASC-1 test correctly identified 84.6% of the total subjects. Of the 41 subjects failed by the pure-tone threshold test, 48.8% were missed by the VASC-1. An analysis of the average hearing threshold loss for 500–2000 Hz or the ears misclassified by the VASC-1 revealed 83.3% ranged from 0 to 13 dB. The VASC-1 and the verbal portion of the VASC-2 appear to be fairly equivalent forms.Keywords
