Steps for Early Detection of Hearing Insufficiency in Children
Birds chirping… The sound of gushing water… The irritating horns of vehicles…All these can be
enjoyed if and only if the person can hear. One of the most sensitive parts of human body, the ear
helps one to listen to sounds in the audible range. A normal human being can hear sounds ranging
from 20 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz where Hertz is the unit measure of sound. Medical professionals say
that hearing deficiencies can be detected at a very early stage if one knows how to suspect the
problem. Doctors suggest plenty of tips and tests to test new born babies for hearing impairments.
Medical science has advanced to the level where there are free online hearing Test US through which
one can identify how effectively their ears work. Here are some simple and easy tests that will help
anyone to measure their hearing capacity.
Thud and Bang test
This test will help to check if months old babies can hear properly. The new born react to sound by
twitching their head in the direction of noise. Parents can try to snap, thud or bang lightly next to the
ear to check if the child responds to stimulus. This test is even done by pediatrician when they do
regular checkups on the child. The most important factor that one has to remember is that the new
born is sensitive to heavy noise hence one has to be mild while snapping or banging.
Audiometry tests
Audiometry is a series of prescribed tests that helps to identify the hearing capacity of both ears. Each
ear is isolated when the other is subjected to the test. This way one can measure how much can they
hear, how much the brain can decipher and in total how much is their outer ear functioning. These
tests can be conducted with the help of an audiologist who tests the response of brain and
otoacoustic emissions.
Speech testing
Many a times, speech impairment and hearing deficiency are connected with each other. By
measuring the speech reception threshold, an audiologist confirms the basic audiometry test results.
He makes the subject to repeat faintly heard word and tries to measure the word recognizance ability.
This test can be conducted in noisy or silent environment.

Pure tone testing
Pure tone testing refers to the series of tests that helps to determine the faintest tone one can hear at
different pitches. When kids do not co-operate for this tests as it requires them to wear an ear phone,
sound booths are built with special acoustics that helps in sound field screening. Unilateral hearing
loss where one of the ear's hearing capacity is disturbed can be easily identified in these tests. The
subject has to respond to sounds by raising fingers, pressing a button or by saying yes or no.
Testing middle ear
Sometimes, the patient could have a problem with the middle ear where acoustic reflexes are dealt
with. This is the best test to identify hearing impairment in pre-schoolers. There are three different
tests in this section which measures the fluid level in middle ear, the functioning of ear drum or even
the presence of any infection in the drum. The test results suggest the requirement of follow up,
medical intervention, suggestive usage of hearing aids Kentucky, hearing rehabilitation requirement
etc.
With audiologists to help, hearing deficiencies can be dealt with confidence and mental strength.
